WHo moved my hairdresser?

My hairdresser moves!

I moved to St. Augustine Florida a couple of years ago. I asked around and around to try to find a good hairstylist. I found "Mindy". She and I had a great relationship and I always trusted her with the cut and coloring of my hair for the past 2 ½ yrs.

She told me about how she had gotten into a terrible loan on her home after her divorce. Looking back on it, I think it might have been a balloon payment. Her dream was to buy an RV and go touring the country while homeschooling her son. We had an understanding that I would be listing her home when this was to happen. We talked that it might be after the 1^st of the New Year, because by then she would be past the prepayment penalty on this horrific mortgage.

In February when I saw her, I asked is THIS the year we are going to sell your home. And she said no. I said ok. Wondered why not, but let her have her privacy. I saw her in May at a social event and we talked briefly. I called one week later to make a hair appointment and the staff said she had just up and moved!

What do you mean UP AND MOVED! I was in shock. Where did she go? And what about the house!!!! Why didn't she tell me? Supposedly she didn't tell anybody. And what happened to this house!!!!! The only thing the hair salon was saying is that she went to take care of her father and took her son with her. But what about the house!!!!

I tried calling her, but the phone didn't work. I decided I would write her. I looked up on her tax records and bingo! The day of her departure exactly coincided with the day the bank took possession of her home.

Holy mackerel! All that time and she was going thru foreclosure and never said a word. Imagine, nobody knowing that your world was caving way. I don't know that I could have done anything but just blown away by the realization that she was too emotional, too embarrassed, too disappointed, too something to let anyone know what was happening.

Remember during the aids epidemic time and you were first affected by the news that someone you knew was dying of aids? That's how I felt - my first experience with someone I knew and cared about

Whose life came crashing down and she didn't breathe a word of it to anybody.
