I am a stranger to you and I know nothing of your life other than what I’ve read here and that’s what makes it so easy for me to blurt out what I think. I guess if it’s a “thing” that could pay one’s house off, or guarantee your children’s college I would ask for it to be split evenly but if it’s just personal effects; pocket knives and photographs and they mean that much to her and she means that much to you then re-read this: <BR/><BR/>“A person’s things are not that person.” <BR/><BR/>From reading about “the binders” in your later post, I imagine you already know this. <BR/><BR/>All my best from Illinois – Mrs. BombadeeJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137018447917798078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25005619.post-1145220153114630342006-04-16T14:42:00.000-06:002006-04-16T14:42:00.000-06:00it's tough having a sibling with whom you once sha...it's tough having a sibling with whom you once shared much, but now there is a great distance. I have a sister two years my junior, who doesn't have the time of day for me. but, in her defense, I started it... <BR/><BR/>anyways, yeah, the best way would be what you described. it's too bad that in her selfishness and fear, she pushes away those who in theory should be the closest. <BR/><BR/>life is sometimes, not often and many times full of contradictions and quandries that seem without purpose. vent away, because as Ann said, we're just an email away....<BR/><BR/>much love I send your way tonight...ipodmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06581681803719510867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25005619.post-1145166659731440522006-04-15T23:50:00.000-06:002006-04-15T23:50:00.000-06:00My former dil has become a "fundie" and is not the...My former dil has become a "fundie" and is not the girl I knew and loved for so long. She "prays" for the rest of us that we may see the evil of our ways.<BR/><BR/>I still love her but sometimes I don't like her very much.<BR/><BR/>As for the rest, what you would do and what I would do might not be the same and much too complicated for a comment box.<BR/><BR/>Let me know if you're interested. That's why email was invented.<BR/><BR/>Happy Easter and hugs,<BR/><BR/>AnnGrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17283823157675990935noreply@blogger.com
