My father passed away when I was 25 back in 1991 and my Mother passed away in 1997 a few months before I turned 31. Although we didn't always see eye to eye, I miss having them around. I have gotten married since but my husband's family isn't too friendly and kind of peculiar and my only living relative who I ever kept in touch with, My sister and My uncle(mom's brother) , Well, I haven't seen my uncle since my mothers funeral in 97 and my sister I only see 3 times a year even though they both live about an hour from here. My uncle is very peculiar and doesn't want to call or keep in touch and I still can't understand why and my sister is very well off and runs away from reality. Now she's finally being a little nicer to me since I've dropped nearly 50 pounds but it's sad that she thinks that way. At least we saw more of the both of them (sister & uncle) when my parents were still living. I feel a great deal of sadness and lonliness right now. My nasty mother in law says I need to "get over" these feelings for my parents. She's on another planet anyway. Well, thanks for letting me vent.
