Sorting things out

In case you DID happen to see the post I wrote yesterday, and then deleted, my brother and I have had a long chat, and a few emails back and forth, and have sorted out our differences.

There were a number of misunderstandings on both sides regarding donations and landing with one's bum in the butter, and I think we've found some seriously steady common ground to continue building our relationships on. We both jumped to conclusions, but have set those aside and moved on.

Thank goodness!

I know some families who let things bubble beneath the surface for years, creating bitterness and anger that is never really expressed but just plain ruins any chance of closeness.

We haven't. I'm really glad we haven't.

Onwards and upwards!
