I got my ex boss's Holiday Newsletter before Christmas. You know the one where she recounts the details of all the wonderful travels she and her hubby have had, all the births in the family yadda yadda.
Now the twist on this is that I was diagnosed with breast cancer, an aggressive form in 2005. I went through 50 some odd weeks of chemo, surgery, six weeks of radiation etc. . . she was included on some "chemo updates" and the original diagnosis email sent to friends and colleagues.
She NEVER sent one email: "Sorry to hear that" or any such. Not a card, not a phone call. . . and then three weeks ago I get an email asking for updated address so she can send me this info. . . which makes the newsletter self serving like "I don't care to hear from you, but here's what's going on with me." I am interested to hear what people would do. Write back? Ignore her? What would you say? (I'm obviously working through my thoughts on this.) Thanks!
