I'm not surprised Helen and your dad always loved each other and helped each other
I don't remember my mom favoring my brother over me when we were kids
but now
as Bill said ''I think your mom forgets you exist''
yet yesterday when I was troubled and called my brother
there are no words for how understanding, kind, loving, helpful my brother was
we had gone our own way in recent years, after having been so close as kids
but when I needed help yesterday, no one could have been kinder
Love, Palo

I am just glad that your family was there to help you...there are so many families, where the various members are at odds with each other, and dont even speak to each other anymore...and often this is over matters, that were not that big to begin with, but have been allowed to fester...

To me, family is everything in the world....everyone does something that maybe other family members dont like, or dont approve of...but above all, family should remember that they are family, and tied by blood...I think that means something...

I know of people who have cut off all ties with their children for reasons that to me are really ridiculous...and I think that the parents suffer and the children, even tho they are adults, suffer also...

Life on this earth is so really very very short, and too short to be taken up with disagreements, and arguements, and nit picking, and such....

Well, anyway, thats how I look at it...
