another one

Well, I survived another anniversary of my mom's death.

it's still hard.

but it's not as hard as it used to be.

I can look back now, and smile and laugh at the crazy things she used to do.

If you've been here for any amount of time, you know that the relationship with my mother was tumultuous, at best. We had our ups and downs...mostly downs over the years.

There were many years where we had no contact at all.

Now I see that as such wasted time. My brother and I still don't speak. I don't even know where he is, how he is...if he's even alive. I assume he IS, since I haven't heard other wise! Oh wait...I DID get a call from his "wife"..and I put it like that cuz I don't know if they're really even married anymore or what. But he wanted something form me, of course, cuz why else would she be contacting me. It was a piece of paper that he needed from me, which I can't find...or was thrown out YEARS ago. so now he has just one more reason to hate me.

Which is really his loss, cuz im freaking FABULOUS!!!! lol!

But my mom did teach me to be a really good grandma. She always said, "Im a horrible mother but Im a really good Nana". So true. :)

***********************

Im watching some show on TLC about having multiple babies....HOW DO THESE PEOPLE DO IT??!!!!! OMG, I would lose my bloomin mind. seriously.

just thought I'd throw that in there. :)

Just telling it like it is said...

Yes you are fabulous...and a trooper and a woman I look to..Recently my real father contacted me...I haven't see or talked to him in 16 yrs. Well that is because a long time ago he said he would see me but not my son...Yeah well we both know how that went. He said that he wanted to see me and his grandson...I was weary but my Mother begged me to give him a chance...do you think people really do change? Love you girl

girlfriend....yes, people can change. My mom and grandma threatened to throw me out if I kept my baby...made me give her up for adoption. My mom later came to love her very much, after I found her. and my mom loved my husband. people CAN change. give him a chance....he's missing out on a great kid. :)

First, I am SOO glad that you are back to your blog (or either I have just been 'missing' your entries) and DOUBLY glad that you have a picture of you and your hubby up on your blog..!

I don't quite know what to say here... I have made my decision in regards to my own relationships and the only thing I feel comfortable with saying is I am sure that being able to reconcile your feelings and relationship with Moms is better than the alternative...

... when it comes to sibs... F*ck 'em if they can't take a joke..!
