The one where she steps up on the soapbox-clarity

Someone said to me today, there is a lot of emotion still with my "The one where she steps up on the soapbox." blog.

Clarity:

Yes, there is emotion.

11 months ago, I had a chance encounter with my Aunt on FB.  We had a conversation that was a number of months long.  Reconciliation was plausible.  I just didn't get to do the actual reconciliation on earth.

That has me bummed out.  And I am a little emotional because there are so many things I would've wanted to know.  Now, I won't know, because she is gone.

The other part of the story is this, and if we are going to continue to have this author/reader relationship you should really know about me.

I can be walked on, abused, taken for granted, neglected and maligned and I am pretty much ok with it--for a very long time.

Then, you do any of the above to someone I love and you awaken the beast.

So, to have my Mother walk up to my grieving cousin, (who just lost her mom to Cancer) and proclaim that my cancer was back, was just evil.

Finally a friendship is reborn and now, my cousin must have thought, how much time do I have left with Kim.

Fortunately, my cousin is a smart and discerning woman.  She knows that 1% of what Mother states is true, the following that statement is 99% is ()&*&%&$*&*(*++^^%$$.

So, if you are reading the emotion in the last post, these are just 2 of the many, many reasons, there is emotion when I talk about my biological family.
