Glad to hear that. Good for you and your family. Family relationships are so difficult. I didn't even get a hello from my only surviving brother this year. Something is not right. I, too, keep opening the door. But he doesn't even want to peek.
I try to keep things together with my DH's children, who can be a very selfish, spoiled group. My DH says he should call me Mrs. Kissinger, but that would make him Mr. Kissinger and he is not that by any stretch of the imagination.
I just keep trying and keep getting hurt but I live by that golden rule...do unto others...
It may not work in my lifetime, but I can put my head on my pillow at night and know I have done my best by trying to share my love.
