The Phone Call

 She called...she talked...she talked some more....

She needed validation because she is going through a divorce that is very difficult.  

She is trying hard to make it work; trying to figure out where she stands in all this and to make sure that she takes care of herself.

But, as she talked, she talked about the family she grew up in.....

DYSFUNCTIONAL - which she has mentioned before.

So, it made me so grateful for my own siblings and family.  So far, my siblings and I speak to each other.  Our children speak to each other, but even in this, we have hard situations.

The family in America is changing.

BUT, OH, I'm so grateful for the family I have and hold dear.
