I get what she's saying...but it's also not ok to be ignored. They don't have to acknowledge everything I do every day - but it is vital that they are respectful, just as I am respectful of them.
And it's important they are kind, and uplifting, and thoughtful, and honest....because that is how I am to them.
And it's also important that I forgive them....because they forgive me when I mess up. =)
I have to admit... I thought, "Don't turn down the TV if they ignore you like that. Turn it off. And don't ask twice, unless you aren't sure that they heard you.
But being "unappreciated" isn't always awful, which is what I think she means with "invisible." At least some of the time. The things she's talking about, those are service.
Ok. This made me bawl my eyes out.
