This piece is touching and moving and passionate. I love it. Although my story is a bit different, I can relate to the feelings in yours.

I thought (and still think) there was no brother on the face of the earth who was nicer, more handsome, or smarter. He left home at 19, went to college, married, had children, and never moved back where my mom and I live. We see them maybe three or four times a year. We really have become strangers. It's so sad that families do grow apart, no matter how "fairy tale" the original family story was. I fear that for my own family now....I want my kids to stay close, but fear they won't. hugsLeave It To Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510401202733633537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965486343561766609.post-51245894011151982262011-09-07T06:44:07.446-07:002011-09-07T06:44:07.446-07:00I am still a bit miffed at the whole "fairy t...I am still a bit miffed at the whole "fairy tale" thing. Not the actual fairy tales, you know - but the whole "if you eat right, do all your homework, study hard, and get a college degree, you will have a great career and marry a wonderful man, etc. etc.". There is no guarantee of any of that stuff, but people are happy to feed it to you when you're young.<br /><br />Happily, I have gotten around it and have made my own happy life out of a collection of mismatched and very unlikely bits and bobs! With (gasp) a husband who is not a lawyer, a doctor, or a dentist! The nerve of me!Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965486343561766609.post-36380651497300067572011-09-06T17:31:50.057-07:002011-09-06T17:31:50.057-07:00My dear, I relate to so much of what you say about...My dear, I relate to so much of what you say about your family. Not the details, of course, I grew up in the 80's...so things were a little different. :) But the yearning for a fairy tail. Now a mom myself, I realize my broken decayed family was just a practice run. I've found my forever after, so to speak, as you have. I'd say I'm sorry that your brothers turned out to be such...tossers, but I get the feeling you aren't sorry. Like you say, everyone has a reason to be who they are. Who they are shaped you into a true gem.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965486343561766609.post-22907744212613998832011-09-06T16:17:05.682-07:002011-09-06T16:17:05.682-07:00So sad.
