Or So We Think

9 of us siblings, the last being born 60 years ago, have been reduced to 5, and amongst the five, some of us ain’t doing so well healthwise, as it is.

Our youngest sister died a few days ago, one week after her husband died. What and how they died is not on my mind right now.

You might be mistaken to think that a death in the family would draw the family closer together. You couldn’t be farther from the truth.

We all have had trials of pain and suffering. We all have overcome considerable pain and suffering in our own way. I would say we have all been scarred along the way.

There are no heroes, only survivors.

Only a miracle could bring about reconciliation, but reconciliation is not on any bodies mind right now. And may never be. You don’t say you’re okay with that. You keep on walking. You have your own heart to care for.
