She has an older sister and is obviously comparing her relationships. It created mixed emotions for me. Grateful that she felt comfortable communicating her honest feelings, appreciative of the honesty, sad for what we she is missing.<BR/><BR/>So interesting you posted this today.

A woman there befriended me (briefly) and asked a few questions about him, then spoke about herself a bit too. The entire exchange took place in one morning, for about 15 mins.<BR/><BR/>Two months later, I received a very expensive purse in the mail from this same woman. With the purse was a note, explaining that it was her gift to me for my showing her that when she was a child, her mother took extra care of her own brother, who was ill most of the time, and that while she always felt left out, in meeting me she learned that her mother loved both her children equally, but that her brother really did require more of her attention.<BR/><BR/>Some day you too will receive your version of a very expensive purse, for being the great mother you are.Leightongirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01995668005241526484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24538881.post-69849014091667023312008-10-08T06:56:00.000-07:002008-10-08T06:56:00.000-07:00Your whole post was profound.
