I have learned to let go of those things, because in the end that baggage is way to heavy to carry around and it's a burden I do not need. The fact that you have loving family to help mitigate that is great. Hugs to you, SusanSusan P.

In fact, I can remember most of them. And a few of them were hurtful from people long since dead. In fact, one of the most memorable (?) ones I can recall is the reaction my father gave me when he saw my grinning face on a third grade picture: "You look like a raped ape." Yep, that one's a keeper. Dad was a charmer.<br />Which is why I am careful, very careful, what I say to my own kids.Al Penwasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052950809151897315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372897564928472255.post-26713601428647686102012-10-25T12:22:14.557+11:002012-10-25T12:22:14.557+11:00Jo-Anne, I don't understand why some people ar...Jo-Anne, I don't understand why some people are determined to make others miserable.
