  The rain has been fairly steady since early afternoon and the past couple hours the wind is picking up considerably. They say the worst for us will be in the overnight hours.

  Do you still love your relatives/friends who shun you?

  as i was participating in my daily duties of domestic slavery i got to ruminating about my mom, sister and brother who are shunning me (even though i am neither df'd of da'd).

  i got to thinking to myself that i don't really miss them all that much.

  in fact; i almost feel that i have lost the abundance of love that i once felt for them...well, except for my brother who i have never gotten along with anyway.

  I just wanted to add that I have moved on with my life and part of what helps is the actual physical distance between my brother & I. Even when I was up in town visitng family-it was a rare occasion that I would see him. On the down side, now that Funchback (he's one of my brothers) and I have reconnected, it's harder to spend time with him because of the distance.

  Dimples comments brought to mind one incident with my brother. We were at my Dad's marriage to my step-mom and everything was going great-I was having a great time, so happy that my Dad had found someone that made him happy after my Mom died. Then, they went to do the "first dance" and all of a sudden, I lost it! There I stood in the midst of the partygoers bawling like a baby! My Aunt came over and comforted me. WHile we were talking and hugging I noticed my brother just standing and observing with a concerned look on his face. It was like he wanted to play some kind of role at that moment in time but he was restrained in some way. I truly believe that he was being torn between what felt natural to do-comfort his sister and what he felt pressured to do-remain the "strong elder" who couldn't let his emotions get the better of him.

  for some of us on this forum, we're so far away from one another.

  out of curiosity, do any of you have any photos of where you are from, or the communities that you live in?

  here's one of toronto.

  Yes, I still miss my one brother still in-and if he would let me know he is leaving and wanted to renew our relationship-I'd do it without any reservation.

  I am saddened and hurt at our lack of any relationship but at the same time I realize that he is truly believing what he believes to be right. I just hope that he does somehow take the blinders down and realize before it is too late-you never know how much time you have to live on this planet.

  You can't retrieve those lost moments but you can make many grand new ones!

  Just my $.02.

  Yes! It is the one "safe" place someone can go without fear of being "caught" by their peers.

  Use to be if I had doubts and wanted to read a book, I'd be afraid that someone might "catch" me buying it or borrowing it from the Library.
