For me it's a bit more final than for you but I still find myself wondering sometimes what things would have been like for me and my kids if my mom was still here with us. My dad on the other hand is still alive and pretty much like your mom. He was physically abusive to my mom even as she was dieing from cancer. I've reached a point in my life where I've forgiven him but yet I'm not really sure that I want to open my life to him either....
I also find that I really miss my sister more this time of year. We always used to make plans together and now her husband is with another woman and things are just so different..... |
I think what hurts most is what the kids miss out on.......what should be.
