I have a confession...I am a little...no make that totally creeped out by the letter I received in the mail today from Shepherd's Canyon Retreat. Not only have I never heard of them before but it is unnerving to open a letter addressed to Mrs. [add husband's full name] and read everything contained in this blog so far! It is odd to have your words written back at you like they understand. There is no other information about them contained in the letter other than their name, address, phone number and email address. Who are you that you know what it is like? You can repeat words back to me but do you REALLY understand what it is like?
You can't possibly know what it is like since you can't even separate me from my husband...just like everyone else, you have the same expectations: you see me as being called with my husband. Like I've said before, this is not a "two for one deal", I am my own person. Believe it or not, I even have my own name! Shocking, I know! It may be hard to believe but I was not born to my parents saying, "Let's call her Mrs. because her husband will name her later." You cannot possibly understand if you can't even see me as my own person!
