I left home when she was twelve and she got used to being an only child quite quickly.<br /><br />Birdie, what a chirpy, happy thought.

I envy that kind of family connection. My two brothers and I are rarely in contact, as much my fault as theirs, probably. Distance doesn't help but there's a certain assumption on the part of family members that they will always be there no matter the neglect. Most friendships wouldn't survive that.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10892637441668897411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652835323489468820.post-39693497394436485672011-05-22T20:31:22.253-07:002011-05-22T20:31:22.253-07:00If you can get the things listed above this late m...If you can get the things listed above this late maybe you can still get a pony! <br /><br />So yes, better late than never!

There was a period of 8 years when we were not in contact at all, simply because we were in different countries, living different lives. We would each hear snippets about the other through our Mother.
