A moment in time....
I pick up the phone and dial....Bill "Hello"
Dawn "Hey Bill, do you have a minute, I know you are at work"
Bill "Yes, I have a minute"
Dawn "Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up and I was just wondering if there was any chance we could see you guys?"
(No hesitation at all...)
Bill "I think I'll just pass"
Dawn "Okay...have a nice day"
Bill " Yeah"
I know I was taking a chance calling but I was not prepared for the coldness or the absolute lack of kindness that I rec'd.
I know I will get past this but for now I am making a written memory of this event so that I will know it really did happen and I will try...really try this time not to call again.
I have a beautiful family and we are very good people inside and out.
I miss my brother Bill...I do.

i'm really sorry to hear this, dawn.
and you're right. you have a beautiful family. and you're good people inside and out. and you'll have a special holiday season, no matter what.
GIANT hug.
What is it with brothers? Mine was invited to our house (with the rest of the family) for Christmas dinner and just didn't turn up. Not a phone call or even a text to let me know he'd decided go spend the evening elsewhere.
Just remember it's their loss. Really.
