I said yes, of course, and she was so gracious and right to come. So even if my mother never made that peace, I feel like we did it for her.Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460136246441367993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21634138.post-86658124586199736122009-04-22T09:26:00.000-07:002009-04-22T09:26:00.000-07:00Sounds complicated.

My paternal grandmother is one of eight or nine siblings - none of whom she speaks to, so my brother and I, and our 5 other cousins on this side of the family have never met this huge brood of family of ours. Reading your post made me want to gently ask my grammy about these people...I'm sorry for your loss, and moreover for your moms.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615149112130152767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21634138.post-8386749083198196292009-04-22T06:37:00.000-07:002009-04-22T06:37:00.000-07:00I just blog-hopped over here to find this (and I h...I just blog-hopped over here to find this (and I hope this doesn't come across as flippant) sobering, beautiful post. I've always felt sadness and curiosity about my grandmother's brother, whom she lost touch with early in adulthood and whom none of us knew. Though my siblings still see some volatility, it's nice both to realize how much relationship we have and to get a nudge to deliberately be family to each other. Thanks for sharing (and sorry for the novel).Lesliehttp://fivetonine.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
