Bev? Why would we EVER hold something like that against you? The bottom line is your friend was married to Ian, they got on just fine for some time and she has a beautiful daughter. So what, it may not have turned out to be the best match for her or him. That kind of stuff happens all the time. Myself, I was only marriend 6 years to my X, but look at what I gained! I thought I would never have children but Flora opened me up to a life of love and peace I never knew of!
Anyone who would hold that against you is patently insane, just like any member of this board being jealous of another member for having a relationship with band members or etc....... That whole line of thought is just not right. We should all be here sharing our experiences, as much as we feel comfortable, and just talking and having a great time!
That is what this board is for! For Fans of "Our" Band!
Love to you Bev! [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by Bev from Tuesday, February 24, 2009 5:20:26 PM)

Hopefully I can let sleeping dogs lie, or at least get this off my chest.
Since letting on about my small, distant, connection ... I have had this uneasy gnawing in the back of my mind that folks somehow hold a grudge toward me by association. That they don't believe I am a fan, because I am good friends with the woman that married Ian after Sue. Lots of hardcore Halford fans may see this as an afront, maybe not. Some may know more than I do about the years I missed while my friend lived in England. She had her own group of friends. I only heard from her on holidays, etc. So I am serious when I say, I don't know anything and am really another fan like the rest of you. She is still very guarded about those years, refuses to talk to anyone, more out of concern for her daughter's privacy than anything.
So I hope we all can start fresh with that understanding. I am here to contribute my small bit of politeness, pride, and protection. And in return try to learn from you all, fill in the gaps that the years that passed have left gaping.
Thanks for reading! |
