How would you feel?

HI Cheryl.

I am sorry this happened to you. I bet you did feel like you were

(((( Cheryl )))), I'm sorry your 'group' was so insensitive to your needs. I walk slowly, too. Having little short legs doesn't help any. I've always had trouble keeping up with others, even when I was in great shape. Walking with dh or my brother is like running a race. I do have a couple of friends that also walk slowly, so we don't have that problem when we go somewhere together.

I would have felt like crying, too. I really think it was rather rude of them to leave you trailing behind like that. For sure if the idea ever comes up again to take a shopping trip like that, I'd decline the offer. Now, if you came to my area, where we have a huge, new shopping center with just about every kind of store you can think of, I'd be thrilled to mosey along with you!

Oh wow Cheryl, I'd be a little upset too. I think I would have said something like "hey girls-I can't walk this fast and I'm not having fun trying to keep up".

I don't think it's overly sensitive at all. In fact, I'd be a little upset over the rudeness of everyone else. It just seems so insensitive of the group not to have slowed down for you.
