Monday Retrospective: In Memory of Love Lost, Part One
This December will mark ten years since my brother last spoke to me. I often think of all the wonderful things he is missing by not knowing my children, his nephews. We still love him.
I do not have a good relationship with my older brother. He expects us to all be something we arents. Like we dont live up to his expectations. It makes it hard when we were raised together. I dont know where this comes from. It makes it hard when children are in both of our lives. I still see him but I have to put on a character to be around him.
"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." H. H. Dalai Lama
"Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does." William James
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." Albert Einstein
This feature shows the letters of the font Galludet, which is awesome. Learning to fingerspell is fun, and give you an excellent way to communicate without having to make a lot of noise. I recommend learning some basic sign to use as visual prompts for your child, too, even if they are not deaf or have hearing loss.

How very, very sad that must make you feel. He is missing out on knowing a great family!

God bless you, Joeymom. January 16 will be 12 years since my father's death, and I wonder similar things about him all the time.
I am going through a relationship breakup with my sister right now. It is hard.
HUGS to you.
