Two Edge (family) Sword!

Abilio: Family has always played a major part of my life! You can actually say that I have never been alone (different than feeling alone)! I went from living with my mother to living with my x wife to living with Robert! Through the last almost 54 years I have always been surrounded by family, that is until my mother died.

And so for the first time in my life though I have Robert I don;t have a family around me! I am not one to live without a family around me! It becomes depressing and sometimes makes me thing of self destructive ideas. Loneliness is the worst disease to face mankind! You can feel it even when YOU do have family around! But you definitively feel it when you don't!

On February 3d 2012 I lost my mother and in the process due top greed my sister and brother too! It's unfortunate that family can't deal with challenges that face us all including disagreements on decision that effect those we love. You would think this would drive me away from my family, but it doesn't! It draws me closer for I want to say "It's ok in a family to have deep seated feelings and disagree should be encouraged so that you're heard"! Hudson is now a lonely place! Yes we have a huge home and every thing we need to live a comfortable life! But missing is a family and the drama associated with it!

So I need to go back to where I left my heart two years ago to come spend time with my mother! People who know me well, know exactly what I mean!

Robert:: I left home when I turned 18 and supported myself and lived either alone or roomed with friends. I love my family but unlike Joe it's not as important to me! I don't like the drama that comes with family!

But as I have aged and lived with Joe I understand the respect he has for family and the role they play in having a happy life! I totally agree with Joe that one has to be where one's heart is and that even with the drama we had with our family in Miami, it's the family that the creator has given to us!

My sister once said, you need family when all is said and done! She was right! Loraine seems to always be right even when I think she is wrong! It's after all family!

Till we chat again
