It's taken me...<b>MJ</b>, You're absolutely right. It's taken me a while to understand these truths. Wisdom does come with age, with experience; & I finally understand what my parents & brother were trying to teach me: Family is what you make of it, & it doesn't matter what other people say. And I definitely don't dwell on the negative anymore. Life is better when seen with the right, positive perspective. The important thing isn't convincing ignorant people; it's most important that I focus on my relationship with family (relatives & friends), because they make life worth living & loving.<br />eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-70846808198059595422016-04-24T08:09:02.424-05:002016-04-24T08:09:02.424-05:00When you say, "Yes, I still feel mad if I dwe...When you say, "Yes, I still feel mad if I dwell on it, so I won't," THAT is the key... not dwelling on it.<br /><br />I know those same emotions and feeling the need to explain certain things to ignorant people who don't understand...whatever the topic or situation might be. <br /><br />The most important thing is that you and your loved ones understand.The Mistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109289531733623207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-45726773152383103752016-04-20T22:17:36.603-05:002016-04-20T22:17:36.603-05:00LX, Thank you!

My brother tells his story so much better than I ever could. <br /><br />I think there's something in the DNA of all younger siblings that makes them want to rifle through their older siblings stuff...I know we couldn't resist, no matter how many times our older siblings punished us.eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-15265831769147319292016-04-20T19:20:51.690-05:002016-04-20T19:20:51.690-05:00I'm glad you decided to publish this family st...I'm glad you decided to publish this family story.

In the end, I did what I thought my brother would do, & just share his story because it was important to be reminded of what love is & that love makes a family. We were lucky to have good parents who set a good example for us on how to be kind & treat people right. The rest of my siblings & I don't always succeed in being better people, but we still try, for the same reason this memory is so vivid, because it's important to remember family & to do the right thing.eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-40610894817484678092016-04-20T09:27:22.119-05:002016-04-20T09:27:22.119-05:00Hugs to you, Mr Swings.
