Old family - New Wounds

I am so happy that my ex brother-in-law is getting married next week. It's what he's always wanted and wished for and at 35, he found his soul mate. I regret that our circumstances don't allow me to be there when we have shared so much over the years. My kids, however, have been getting ready and as I send them home to this wonderful family occasion, I am so proud of them for their tremendous strength. That doesn't mean I appreciate being excluded - I hold on to the promises that we would always be family, but of course, the reality of the present replaces the past all too quickly. Even my kids have noticed!!!
Hmmmmm.....
