My tuppence worth. If it ended that quickly, it was never really a
friendship, anyway.

I agree with much of what you say. However, one very important point: Did
you let them how you feel about this?
In my case, I did. I wrote the following in the minutes after the visit so I
ould get it right:
Glenn drove up the hollow on his little off-road vehicle, don't know the
proper
ame for the thing. I was mowing, drove around the side of the garden where he
ad stopped, shut the mower off and walked up to him.
He said something about the path I had mowed, apparently to break the ice. I
aid I wanted to hear his side of the story. He said that the family and Micki
wife) didn't like the sale. (The sale was for his full asking price.)
I said where I grew up a man did not change his mind once he gave his word.
He
aid, well, that was the way it was for him, too, but sometimes things change
nd the family wasn't for it. I said if the family was going to be in on it,
hen the time to talk to family was before you gave your word and made the
deal.
e looked at me, obviously didn't like what I said, turned his back, walked
way, shouted something unintelligible, got on his rig and drove off.
And so ended a friendship.
Gene
