Sorry ...Hi Jennifer, hope this comment reaches you. Sorry to hear you've been having problems with some people online but very glad to think you might come back to blogging. I for one, like the fact that you're not perfect, and even that you do things sometimes that I might think a bit nuts...because I only think that really because I see so much of my own behaviour reflected back at me and, you know, projecting and what not. :) I've always admired your honesty in laying everything bare. So much more interesting to read than those who simply get gazelle-intense and go from A to B and that's that. In my opinion anyway.<br /><br />Oh, and just in case you or anyone else is interested, my brother phoned me the day after all the upset last week to apologise. He's going to hang his present up to remind him not to be so sensitive about this particular issue. Not quite the pleasure I thought he might get out of it but I'm glad we've patched things up.Moonwaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16018956740090192993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942522681264332044.post-65033095313928848942015-06-30T23:49:45.409+01:002015-06-30T23:49:45.409+01:00Thanks Jennifer. Sounds like you've been havin...Thanks Jennifer. Sounds like you've been having a far tougher day of it than I have. I'm actually really close with all my siblings and more so with my brother than any of the others. That's what makes it so crap that I've totally misjudged things, I think. He has a lot of anger towards our dad (who died just before he turned 18, so they never had a chance to sort things out as adults) but I thought he had started to sort of get through a lot of that. Obviously he's going through a particularly antagonistic phase at the moment. Like a lot of things, I think it comes and goes. I hope we do manage to find the same wavelength again. In a lot of ways he's like my kid - I look out for him and worry about him all the time. But he's also probably my best friend and I can usually talk to him about anything. Just not really, it seems, at the moment.

I have been in that position many ...I am so sorry. I have been in that position many times with family members and friends and I have no offer of advice only sympathy. What you did was a beautiful gesture. I hope your brothers realizes that sooner than later.<br /><br />I am not close with my siblings either. I am much older than them and we just cannot communicate well. Sad really, but it is what it is.<br /><br />I LOVE bread and butter pickles though. I figure someday I will get back canning. Life seems too full right now to squeeze that in.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863887265545701157noreply@blogger.com
