Sad Day

Knoebels was a total wash! I understand that the rain was a problem. But Me, as a person would of called or tried to call the person who was putting on the get-together and let them know that there would be a good possibility I wasn't showing up. Instead I had gotten quite a few "We will be there rain or shine" There was 15 families that RSVP'd and I only had one that emailed to see if we were still having the event. Not one showed up nor did anyone phone, email or cell phone me (which was posted several times on the list serve) I really didn't care for me but, the look on Angelo's face was devastating as he waited among his balloon lined picnic tables in the Pavilion. Yes, it did rain off and on. And yes, if I were only attending, I might not show up (but generally I am a trooper) but I sure the #$%^ (excuse me) would of let someone know! Sorry about the venting but I was under the impression that families with WS kinda understood how their child with WS would feel sitting there waiting for his so called"special friends" to show up. We waited for two hours because he would not leave the area afraid he might miss someone. Only when his Dad agreed to stay did I get him on the rides for a while. I am so upset. I cannot get the look of his sadness out of my mind. I almost wrote a nasty email when I saw this on the list serve, written in the mid day, TODAY.

Written not to me, but to someone else. I wanted to post a FYI to the list serve in manners on responding to an event and then deciding not to go. Decided to vent on the blogger instead. Sorry! I know I will feel different tomorrow or at lest off of my milk box. I am so disillusioned by this WSA group and people just in general.
