Family Fight

no one recalls what the fight was about or why it happened it divided the family in three places funerals and weddings are no longer happy events those who will not be with others picking and choosing to come based on who else is showing up this has gone on for twenty-nine years their parents are older their dream is to have their children together again in one room It happens after their death but the grudge remains and they refuse to speak to each other none of them remembering what it was just knowing that it is.

You can choose your friends but not your family is a very true saying.

Unless we choose them in heaven in order to learn the life lessons we need when we get here.

Another sad situation, and so many will show up just to get their share of the inheritance or whatever is left from mom and dad. My family is going through some of this right now. TG, I have my will and everything spelled out; I've dotted all my i's and crossed all my t's!

I am glad that you have; this alleviates and eliminates some pain.
