Beautiful picture. That is so wonderful. Conflict in the family hurt the children most of all.

Wonderful! That paragraph, "The disruption........too rough", is so important to any family. I love the picture.

OH GOD IS GOOD
They are just as beautiful, handsome whatever they are lovely little things. This blesses my heart. Prayers are answered all the time. I am so happy we have a band-aid on the family bump and hope there is soon a dim bragging scar only. Oh I feel like a member of a large family on here and welcome to the handsome little three.

It is always so nice to drop in here and get one of your famous smiles. I do hope all works out and that the bridge is rebuilt and the hard feelings are dropped in the river below never to heard from again.

I understand completely. I had a bit of a falling out with one of my older brothers a few years ago, and it made each family gathering afterward extremely uncomfortable. We've since patched things up, and it has made a world of difference! Hopefully you will experience the same thing . . .

Some people, like you, put such a high value on family,
finding it the source and root of personal strength, comfort and well-being. But some, like her, I suppose, did not have that experience of family, and so it is something entirely else for them, something maybe even threatening and frightening: something that must be competed with and defended against. She may always need, at least, a degree of aloofness to feel safe enough to accept any part of what you offer. Like a feral cat, afraid of what she needs.
Good luck to all of you!
