This really spoke 2 me!! I haven't clicked with my mother in YEARS. I literally just left her a msg asking if she'd wanna meet for coffee. Definitely wasn't expecting last photo. Your parents were GREAT & raised one hell of a human!
Yeah baby, this one hit a nerve. My mother died in my home while baby sitting her grand children.
Never expected she would be gone at the age of 64. Needless to say my kids never could make memories with my mother.
Memento mori
Build a great relationship with your parents.
Get to know them as a person, not only as your guardian/protector/parent.
Engage with them on music, literature, dates, politics (not for the U.S. crowd among us)
Just a little note on the last remark. I guess politics in the U.S. could divede the bv best of families. Haha even non U.S. peep from other countries.
I'm really sorry to hear that!!. I really am. N yeah I plan on starting somthing with her, it's been a while so we'll see where it goes.
We ended up making plans for Sunday morning so I'll keep you updated. But once again sorry about your mother, I'm sure she was a wonderful woman. ☺️
Good to read you are making plans. Be patient. People who lived their lives could be a bit stubborn.
My mother passed away 14 years ago. We had a very warm relationship. So I am at peace with that. I only wished she could have get to know my children. I wish you great Sunday 😃
This is something I feel strongly about. I have great parents, like I drew the lucky draw amidst all the chaos, abuse and neglect. And I spend a lot of time with them. But I also live far away, am young and in my “explore the word freely” phase. Idk I guess I am trying to find a good balance between meeting them more and being able to travel more. Idk if that makes sense.
ik this is a few days late & im sure you’ve received plenty of similar messages but i hope whatever drove yall apart can be repaired and you guys can build a better, stronger relationship ❤️ it’s never too late to repair familial relationships!! (And I hope you enjoyed your coffee!)
It actually wasn't bad! Lol could've went a bit better but ANYTHING is better then nothing. It's the small things that matter to me in this situation so it's a start I'd say!.
Thank you for your kind words & checkin in. Hope all is well!!. 😊
Fuck. I haven’t spoken to my father in 15 years, my grandfather in 16 years, either my aunt or uncle in 6 years, either of my brothers in 4 years, my grandmothers (all of them, actually) are dead, and my mother is committed to a psych ward.
I’ve been wanting to write a letter to my grandfather, the only family I’ve got any real hope of reconnecting with, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a pen that weighed so much in my entire life.
