I don't miss the tangible things in my life that have become lost or broken along the way, I desperately miss the chaotic Sunday dinners in my parents' dining room, with my mother's good cooking. That room has sat empty for a year and a half. <br /><br />We all think we fail. That keeps us from becoming complacent, and becoming failures, I think.karensomethingorotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476544335741075497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-90719901907732055182011-10-04T19:55:59.856-06:002011-10-04T19:55:59.856-06:00water...yes I think so.

Sometimes the unexpected end of the family brings something new, unexpected and much more amicable for all involved. <br />This post hit close to home, but I loved it.

Now she's an adult & married. She fights hard to not let her past affect the family she's a part of now. Still, she feels cheated sometimes & tries to capture some of the childhood happiness she feels she's missed out on.Vinny Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10097265589198549734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-52268502720868759522011-10-04T11:44:34.103-06:002011-10-04T11:44:34.103-06:00Agh that Garden State quote made me want to watch ...Agh that Garden State quote made me want to watch it again and not watch it again at the same time...Sub Radar (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15558160466204000617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-85352485542821808062011-10-04T11:13:20.974-06:002011-10-04T11:13:20.974-06:00I could write an essay on this topic.

It was how our family was. Hope all is well dbs.

It only seems so. Yes, I come from a "broken home". :) But, maybe we would be better off without biological families and instead regarded the world as our family.<br /><br />I always liked the idea of the kibbutz where the children belonged to everyone in the community.Rubye Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02511953177053448513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2982689682328012818.post-34895413184458387382011-10-04T10:03:21.619-06:002011-10-04T10:03:21.619-06:00Family is as mutable and undefinable as language. ...Family is as mutable and undefinable as language. Some people got the family the tv says they should, and others have to make one for themselves out of friends or lovers or kids or lots and lots of cats. I consider myself very good at dealing with my extended family in that I don't. Relieves a lot of stress.Homemaker Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184158557108064422noreply@blogger.com
