I think that him knowing you are there for him come what may, serves to weaken the barrier he has built.
Same daned thing happened to me when I was shunned by my father and kicked out of the house. We had a series of tragic events in the family, I did not care how he felt, he needed me and I was there for him. No strings or doubts attached. He realized that I am a good person with unconditional love for my family. It destroyed the walls between us. 2 years later I lost him in death from disease but we were able to come to understand one another and let the past go completley. It was very hard on me when he passed but I had the comfort of repairing our relationship. We forgave ourselves and each other.
now if you'll excuse me, I am going to go bawl my eyes out....I miss him so much still

I was bore and raised in the same congregation I was disfornicationfellowshipped from. Many of them "changed my diapers as a babe and were very close to me. Many "sisters" did not seek me out but when they saw me in public or private, expressed their sadness over my situation, but loved me anyways. Then there were those who made it over the top obvious that they were ignoring me and going out of their way to do so, as if I were a leper!
Oddly, the ones who did not totally shun me were those who seemed to be more faithful and genuine. the shunners were those with reputations of being judgemental, hypocritical, gossip mongers. -

Boring talks - elders not invited again

You always gave really good talks bro, for the reals! Maybe I was just biased, but you were leagues ahead of the PO and assorted elders even when you were a measly ministerial servant/grunt. Those brothers in San Antonio gave you flack cause they were hellah jealous!

Thank you monkey lady! Being in contact with my brother has given me something new to smile about in an otherwise lackluster life. I got caught grinning and staring into space at work today over this whole deal. Matt certainly has filled in one of those missing pieces in my life. If only I could get pregnant and be blessed with like a 5 pound sack of hundred dollar bills....
