I am truly sad for your siblings, for they are missing one of the best things in life. Sharing oneself with one that you grew up with, who knows you almost better than you know yourself, who can understand some of the quirks in life that you are going through and just sharing other relatives together has to count for something.

I am so sorry about your older brother, made sadder by the fact that he reconciled and you lost him anyway. But yes, I am saddened by the fact that your sibs didn't use this to motivate a reconciliation among all of you. Consider the fact that they are not themselves anyway, immersed in their own "happy world" and perhaps not really feeling the effects of losing out.

Someday they will. Life is too short to live with regrets. I am sad for you, but, more for them. They have no idea what they are missing by turning their back on you.

Much love to you and thank you. Even though I am surrounded by my family, I needed to write this out and see it in writing. As silly as it sounds, it makes it more real, here. Looking at it. Word for word.

((She sighs)) Hugs and love, my friend. And thank you. 💓
