Times you just want a bit of love and security...And thank you again!!! XXX<br /><br />Hi Drollgirl, It was, but there was, thankfully, a good mix of the horrible and the fun. I had great friends (who I'm still friends with!) and a great sister. Still, it can be frustrating when I slam into an issue and realize it's roots go way back to le mal pere. I've let go of my anger towards him completely (we have lunch together on many weekends) but I find that how he affected me affected so many other areas of my life, like a dandelion weed.<br /><br />My sister's b-day (in Fiji) she told me was really fun. A good friend of her's threw her a surprise birthday party. Wish I could have been there.Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679485132057382813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362903411474112827.post-74022356490576157142010-03-19T10:54:22.565-07:002010-03-19T10:54:22.565-07:00Hi Purest Green, thank you and yes!

Wish I'd preferred Darth Vader over Luke Skywalker back then. <br /><br />And I would so love to hear the stories your sisters must have about you. <br /><br />Thank you for the big, huge laugh your comment gave me, by the way.

Everyone we meet, everyone in our lives, is there for a purpose and someone to be grateful for. And the same to you, xx<br /><br /><br />Hi Shanster, Thank you so much! She was, actually, for many years, more of a mother figure than our own mother was. <br /><br />I like to think our childhoods made us stronger than we would have been otherwise.
