So in my post about the young girl who had an attraction for me, I introduced my friend and protector, Maddie. Maddie saved me and now I have to save Maddie. Let me start with yesterday when I got to the office.
Maddie was coming up the aisle past my cubicle and says "I need to talk to you." I put my things down and see the sticky saying she needs to talk to me and I follow her into a conference room. just then, she breaks down in tears. this is totally not the Maddie I know. Strong, self assured, and confident. This was a Maddie that has lost control, is at the end of her rope. And then came the words causing her this sudden turn of emotion:
"He broke up with me and I don't know what to do."
This is TOTALLY out of left field as he just bought her a pedegreed dog for her birthday 2 weeks ago. No one saw this coming. She is talking abotu moving back to the South where she is from and all of us are gutted about it. All I could do is hold her and just let her cry it out. I was helpless. Yes, I did the typical male "let me get the tool box and fix it", but what do I fix? Her heart is broken. Other than falling in love with her (bad plan as she will be in pain and my wife might have a little something to say about her husband becoming a bigamist), I can only let her cry it out and be there for her.
So I told her is if she needs a plce to get away to, our house was open to her. She left the office early and for the rest of the night, I got e-mails from the group asking what we could do for her? How can we help her? We don't want her to leave.
The group "Dad" is feeling like he is not going to be able to keep his kid's happy.
Today I go to the office and take her some flowers and cookies and try to make her happy. Other than that, I feel completely powerless and helpless to really better her situation.
Cross your fingers for me and throw up a prayer to whatever power you believe in. I need it because, even though this sounds somewhat selfish, I think Maddie is better served being here and being with us. I just hope she sees how many people in our office love her and care about her.
Let's see if my loving charm and compassion can win her over.
God help me today. I'll need it.
