Dear So and So

[Bluetree]

my sister and my mother are masters of still being mad about what happened to them when they were six. my mother finally dropped all the complaints about her bad childhood after her mother died at the age of 92.
(she'll still start up about it if you ask her though!!)

Mimi, I feel for you.
My mother's family has split up over an argument between two of her brothers and everyone has taken sides. Now, each side has not spoken to each other in over two years, although some live only 10 miles away. It's all about money... my grandparents' inheritance. Had they know that the money would be so devisive, they probably would have given it away to some animal shelter instead.
If there is any positive to come out of this, it is the solemn pledge my brother and I made to each other that we would never allow the same foolishness to come between us.
Family feuds are not easy to live with!
