Left out again ?

 I've been a secret pal for over 2 years now and had several gals' names, Never has my person Not gotten a gift , a few times it was a bit late but she's never gone without a package a month....... I love making her happy and letting her know I care - sight unseen , never having exchanged any greetings , knowing who we each were......... well I haven't received a gift or even an ecard since last March or April..... then wonderful Beth comes along to run things again ... it can't be an easy task.... and must have lots of pitfalls to it ... yet it's all done on a voluntary basis- she gives of herself ..... which is our most precious commodity anyway.......well where I'm going with this is...... I made the committment to carry through the entire year and I uphold my end of the deal..... why doesn't whoever has my name extend me the same courtesy? If she's having prblems then send me a or Beth a short note to let one of us know instead or letting us wonder, each day I walk almost a mile one way ( not that the excersize hurts me ) to  the the post office to get the mail..... each day I look for something from her..... each day I check my emails - hoping she'll at least say BOO !  something other than absolutely nothing, nada, zip, zilch............... sure makes me think twice about remaining as a part of this...... am I such an awful person ? do I deserve silence ? what did I do ?????? doesn't hardly seem fair does it ?

Aw, Joyce.  THAT STINKS!  You are as deserving (if not more so since you've played the game faithfull) as any one else.  Some people have so much trouble with this concept...I just don't understand how you can simply NOT do it any more.  Especially if they are still receiving their packages!!  ARG!!  I wish I could say something to make you feel better - but sheesh you're right, its just not right!!  Best I can do is send you lots of love, understanding, luck, thoughts, and prayers....and you don't have to walk a mile to get them. *HUGS HUGS HUGS*

Joyce-You do not deserve the silence...no one does.  When I decided to take over and "help out", I did because I knew that there were some people that wanted to join and wanted to get the joy out of sending gifts to someone and then receiving their own gifts in the mail...But, unfortunately, we have those that decide that they are just not going to live up to the commitment that they made..and this was all on a voluntary basis..No one was forced to join..... I am sorry that you have not heard from your pal...I wish that I could make everyone live up to their commitment, but unfortunately all I can do is reassign you AGAIN! How fair is that to you???  It's not, and again, I am very sorry that you have not heard from your pal...... Hugs, Beth
