You guys are my family and I trust your judgement.

I've been friends with Stephanie, who I met while working at the Hartford Courant. I used to cat sit for her when she went away, and would babysit for Brady whenever she needed me. I was there when Brady was very sick and she needed sleep to be able to not miss work. I'd pick Brady up at daycare when he had a runny nose or whenver.

They moved into a new apartment back in August. I watched Brady every single Sunday for six months until she got a new job. We would text each other all the time. I sent her a text congratulating her on the job. I sent her another one asking her how the job was going. NOTHING.

I hadn't heard from her in over two months. No phone calls, no texts, NOTHING. I emailed her and asked if she was mad at me for something. I told her I realized she must be busy with her new job and just wanted to know how they're doing.

Her reply was "Busy with work, can't get on FB at work, and don't have time at night. Upset that a bunch of jewelry I inherited from my Mother, that was supposed to go to Brady, is missing. I'm upset and very sad."

I told her how sorry I was, and could it have possibly been misplaced during the move?? I said I hope she finds it.

Haven't heard from her since.

So, what's YOUR take on this??? I feel like she's accusing me, in a roundabout way. I'm very upset by this. I wish she would come right out and ask me.

My friend Pam said, "See how sad she feels when she's in need of a babysitter at the last minute."
