Good morning Ozzie, Englishman and JanG:
I
am enjoying the 'here and now', the freedom to think for myself and no burdens of misplaced guilt, at least I'm enjoying it as much as I can with the rift the shunning rule has placed between family members.
What I lament over and cannot replace is the years lost to the 'then and past'. I would dearly love to be able to do them over again but differently. But like crying over spilt milk, what's the use.
At least I
can enjoy the here and now for which I am extremely grateful.
Had Enough
PS to JanG: I accessed your mother's day message. What a thoughtful thing to do. Just wanted to say thanks here since I tried to sent a reply back to you from that site but it wouldn't acknowledge you email address for some reason. I must have made an error some place. Just wanted you to know I appreciated it.
