I just kept on trying to do right. I kept on remembering birthdays and special occasions and sending her pictures of her favorite people. I have already arranged for her and her husband to receive flowers for their upcoming anniversary. However, the hurt is still there. I wish she would just apologise and help me a little. My husband and pastor said to keep on doing and I was afraid after so many years of doing that that the message of silence would be too strong. However, she has hurt me more than I can really stand. I am still stymied because I really can't even talk to her. I know that she is ill and hurting but I also have been and that for a long time, I have tried to tell her of the struggle and pains but it just seems to make her madder. I am about to turn 76 years old and I am hurting. Hard to find a heart there.
