She said "Anger can't imbibe the essence of family." Don't know why that struck me. Maybe because our mothers are fearful and anger is a fear based emotion. It made me wonder if they are capable of experiencing the true essence of family without having released that fear. Thinking of you.

I know that we both wonder if they are thinking of us. I think that they do. I think it is their fear of us that scares them more than anything. I know that you and I feel fear but we weren't raised that way were we? We weren't raised to let it control us. Sometimes I just don't know what is really going on in their heads. I am of the frame of mind that we should be the ones contacting. Birthdays are always so rough. I know that we both wonder if they are thinking of us. I think that they do.

My situation was reversed for awhile - I was desperate to hear from my son so I could wish him a happy birthday. I cried buckets on that day. I hope your mother will contact you one day. Until then, take care. Dear Wraith
