illumination70 262 Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Good to hear Illumination!!!!Yep and it's good to know God heard our prayers when we (my family & I) were at the hospital last night. As for my mood, I would say it's eager to get the old "to-do-list" done. Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber barbara1 95 Posted May 18, 2011 Subscriber Share Posted May 18, 2011 back from my uncles funeral. and it was just beautiful. not only have i seen all my cousins back, some of them i hadnt seen for years. but i also saw people who were able to forgive and not forget but accept what happened in the past. my uncle left his wife for another woman when his 4 kids were still very young (oldest daughter was 7) his wife got support from the entire family but soon she left with kids and refused every contact between herself and kids and our family. even my grandmother, who practically raised the kids cause they lived with her, never saw them again. this is all more then 35 years ago. then bout 20 years ago my uncle found love and happiness with a dutch lady, he became a father for her 3 kids who lost their father 5 years before. and later on he was a grandfather for their kids. his partner also encouraged him to contact his own kids again. and they slowly gained back confidence and he got to know his grandkids. i'm very thankful even my grandmother got the chance to meet them again. accept the youngest son, who still refuses to meet us all. during the funeral today his daughter made a beautiful speech bout how they lost contact but got to know eachother and how , maybe in an unconventional way, they regained a deep relationship. to every ones surprise even his first wife, mother of his kids was there. its strange how people can grow apart, and hold grudges for so long. but its beautiful to see how they can put it all aside and respect eachother in the end. i feel blessed with such an amazing family.

Subscriber PattiU2 0 Posted May 18, 2011 Subscriber Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hugs to you and your family Barbara. I just found out I lost a cousin yesterday whom I had never met, now I am sad that I didn't get to meet him. Glad that things worked out with your family, its crazy how families can be. My biological father lives an hour away, does not really want anything to do with me, why I don't know. He sends me money and cards for special occasions and figures that is all he needs to do. My stepdad, who mom met when I was 19, was my real father as far as I am concerned. He was a great man and I miss him terribly. Hugs again Barbara. Link to post Share on other sites

But I will just add, you say that you are blessed to have such an amazing family. I only know you, Hans and the kids, but if the rest of your family are anything like you - of course they are amazing! Been thinking of you today and you have my love and thoughts xxx Link to post Share on other sites
