My brother and I are not close, not really due to anything other than...I don't really know...different lives? I try to emphasize to them that they are on each other's sides, even at our (parents') expense. They get along great now, but I don't know if that's because of anything we've done. They just have similar Amy from Occupation: Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15537676509850272801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15309561.post-10423845857968779482011-10-03T15:33:45.935-04:002011-10-03T15:33:45.935-04:00Thank you so much for sharing this.

It reminds me of the scene in the novel where Annie's mother tells her and Calder to consider who will be left when other people have come and gone in their lives? Families are so complicate. In the one I created on the page, the point was to show that at the heart of who they were they truly cared for one another and should never lose sight of this.

I have a lot of resentment towards my mother who, although I was very ill and my brother has Asberger's, decided to move out of state to be married to a man who did not want to leave his precious city and things. She now lives with his children under in their two family home.

Good for all of us to remember. <br /><br />Lastly, your conversation with your boys reminds me of ANOTHER line - from Zen Mama Wannabehttp://zenmamawannabe.comnoreply@blogger.com
