It was an easy thing...Heidi - Thank you (blushing). It was an easy thing to be there, to be supportive, it was really only terrifying when KC and I had to go to the funeral home alone. (Oh, and one of Rudi's cousins works there, the only one that I like and likes me). It was hard in so many ways...It was the same funeral home that my Dad was at, there was a room full of people looking at me, and we were there without Shawnie. <BR/> I really really hope that this change will be agood one and that it will last. I want Shawns mom to be happy, for as long as she can. She has already lost two kids, I am hoping that the remaining 8 can come together. I just wonder if it has to be at my wedding? Yikes. I think that I am gonna elope. <BR/> And you know what? I am a nice person. :)<BR/><BR/>Gabriel - I am hoping that this is the good that will come from Marys passing. If nothing else, I want to spend more time with her boys. They are really great kids and they must be missing her like mad right now. Mothers Day is right around the corner....You're right though. It might just be a while it lasts kinda of thing. <BR/><BR/>Burfica - I have been hurt so many times by them, I am hoping that this is real. Mona has been just awful - she has been the worst, I think, and all I have done is tried to be good to her. (There is so much more to her story). Shawn is being cautious, he is worried that this will blow up in our faces. I hope not. <BR/><BR/>Dilling - I know what you mean. I have renewed relationships over the years, too. I was fortunate enough to spend alot of time with my Aunt Josie after many years of barely speaking. She passed away 2 years ago, and I am so glad that I had time with her. <BR/> Shawns family is different...It seems like they just don't care about these things. I hope that marys death is putting everything into perspective for them. It would make Mary happy if she brought about the change in everyone.Biddiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745873261311850810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-42805030979691111802008-04-21T13:38:00.000-04:002008-04-21T13:38:00.000-04:00Good to hear. :0)Good to hear. :0)Heather!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08109535493070019496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-55016097305784713812008-04-21T12:42:00.000-04:002008-04-21T12:42:00.000-04:00I hope so - for everyone's sake.I hope so - for everyone's sake.aimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12685252628734838159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-40430484809261442082008-04-21T12:35:00.001-04:002008-04-21T12:35:00.001-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.dillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833842886715698428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-62874319473031967352008-04-21T12:35:00.000-04:002008-04-21T12:35:00.000-04:00things can always change...i hardly even talked to...things can always change...i hardly even talked to my father until i was 21, then we lapsed again until my late 20's...now we're "just like peas and carrots." funny thing is, how distant all the "bad stuff" seems now and now many happy memories i remember...weirdness. but totally cool, too.dillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833842886715698428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-72146415108348240022008-04-21T12:22:00.000-04:002008-04-21T12:22:00.000-04:00Oh Biddie, I don't wanna be negative.

It's been 15 years of hell. <BR/><BR/>This past year they seem to be a bit better, and it's blowing me away. I'm still very cautious though. They could snap and turn in a second. <BR/><BR/>I hope it's for real for you all though, that would be soo cool.Burficahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207396583080371466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29762189.post-41717123366963284972008-04-21T10:04:00.000-04:002008-04-21T10:04:00.000-04:00Yup, it's real.

After their attitudes towards you, they expected the worst from you. I think they expected you to give back what they gave.<BR/><BR/>But you see, they didn't know you that well yet. They didn't know what I know. You're a good person -- one of the best out there. <BR/><BR/>Let's hope they get it now. I'm so proud of you. <BR/><BR/>Lots of LoveHeidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.com
