He came from a big family and I loved them all but once we split up they all basically ignored me. It hurt as I thought we were not just family but friends too. Now that 10 years have passed, I've been able to talk to a few of them but there are still ones who turn up their noses at me. <br /><br />I'm glad you were able to work past old issues with your ex-mil and sil...<br /><br />Take Care,<br />DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450798070205006436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22359497.post-54626735549828975292009-09-22T21:18:19.652-04:002009-09-22T21:18:19.652-04:00I am so glad you had a chance to mend your relatio...I am so glad you had a chance to mend your relationship.

And that's what, by your actions, you have done. I'm not sure, though, that saying goodbye ever does get easier.KathyAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12723937251892708482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22359497.post-40713790609262636782009-09-22T12:15:50.212-04:002009-09-22T12:15:50.212-04:00You're very perceptive to have realized that i...You're very perceptive to have realized that it might be your last time and to get things tied up. I have to admit, I've lost my mother, father, sister, brother, almost every aunt and uncle, a few cousins, and friends. I learned from losing my father at 16, that I was lucky he knew exactly how I felt about him and knew I was on a good course before he died. With my mother, I had years to prepare myself. I began to take over the role that she played in my life (in other words, I kept my successes to myself instead of dragging them to her for approval) and then I had the long talks about the past and the good things she did and the funny things that happened and let her know I loved her. When she passed, I felt none of the burden of "what if's." My siblings went quickly, but because of what happened earlier in life, I treated them every day as if it were the last. When they passed, there was nothing undone. I think that's an admirable thing for you to realize. You obviously have a huge heart and they were very lucky to have you in their lives and they probably know that too. No, I'm sure they do.Sharon Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609356325356264202noreply@blogger.com
