It sounds like you have moved forward in a very lovely manner. Congratulations on being married almost 40 years! I hope you have a beautiful celebration! That cottage is very cool.

I too have a family and family in law not unlike yours (believe me) my grandmother did something weird like the house sale thing - leaving a beautiful home to charity and my father homeless and not a beneficiary, many other things happened along the years - we learned to distance ourselves and to contain and protect the family we have created, our boys. The more you let go and stop wanting to know, be a part of, be significant to these people, the better it gets for you... Blessings to you Catherine.

I've never had much desire to travel the world. <br /><br />But I do miss the mountains of my childhood & wish they were close enough to visit often. They are 1000 miles away so you can't drive there in a day. Every time we visit I think it will be my last time...who knows. <br /><br />So I'm learning to appreciate & enjoy the beauty of the Ozarks around me. Not quite as breath taking to me as the Appalachians but beautiful in their own way.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00305409125105992525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026836570304833522.post-3424215414160712032019-03-30T18:46:23.762+13:002019-03-30T18:46:23.762+13:00Such a lovely comment from my friend Margi- "...Such a lovely comment from my friend Margi- "What beautiful places you have found to heal with your Rob. You have so much courage to face the hardships you’ve endured and to share with such honesty and insight. It breaks my heart to think of those, like you, who have not experienced the love from a parent or family you so deserved. You have gained wisdom and risen above the hurt and deprivation and you are living a life of love. I have no doubt you help others by sharing your journey. ❤️🌻🌼☀️"Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06377061243543771813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2026836570304833522.post-77344316271540345602019-03-30T12:14:53.134+13:002019-03-30T12:14:53.134+13:00Lovely to have you posting again Catherine.
