I Am Sure Many Of You Are Aware Of The Long Time Battle Between These Two Families That Lasted Many Years.
Of Course The Story Differs According To Who You Talk To. In Many Cases He Said, She Said Kind Of Things Get Twisted, Exaggerated And Exploited. Also More Words Are Exchanged And Before You Know It You Forget What Actually Started It.
I Really Never Enjoyed Family Feuds. I Have Been Caught In A Few Over The Years And I Know It Can Get Ugly And Heart Breaking.
Many Years Ago A Small Family Feud Was Brewing Over A Matter Of A Few Months. It All Started Over A Rude Comment Someone Had Made. Actually An Opinion Was Given When One Was Not Asked For In The First Place.
It Reached The Point Where Family Members Chose Sides. In My Opinion That Is Sad. The Feud Was Cut Short By A Death In The Family. Everything Was Dropped And Life Went On As If It Never Happened.
Did You Think These Kinds Of Things Only Happen In Trailer Parks Or The Hills Of Kentucky? Yes They Happen In The Best Of Families. All It Takes Is One Busy Body, Gossiper, Or Instigator To Get Things Started.
Most Of You All Know I Recently Lost My Son Bobby. I Had Only 29 Years To Have Him In My Life. I Wish On The Day He Was Born We Were Told We Could Only Have Him For Just Those Amount Of Years. Unfortunately We Don't Get That Privilege.
I Was Estranged With Bobby For A Short While Some Years Ago. It Was A Minor Issue That Lasted For A Few Months. The Issue Was Resolved And We Never Had A Problem Like That Again.
I Mention This Because What If I Had Lost Him During That Short Period Of Time? I Don't Think I Could Forgive Myself. He Is My Son. I Want Only The Best Of Memories For My Son And The Times We Shared.
Ok, My Reason For Writing This Blog. Today I Draw The Line.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Line Represents My Participation In Any Conflict, Family Or Otherwise. I Refuse To Be A Part Of He Said, She Said.
There Are Some Conflicts That Are Going On At The Moment. I Am Aware Of Them But Maybe Not All Of The Particulars. What I Do Know Is People's Feelings Have Been Hurt. Things Have Been Said That Have Been Hurtful. Whatever The Issue Or Cause Of It, Should Be Revisited And Evaluated To See If It Is Really Worth All The Heartache.
Recently I Was Corresponding With Someone Who Told Me My Family Had Too Much History Of Drama. It's A Comment I Could Not Disagree With. As Sad As It Is, It Was True.
So, Instead Of Calling You All Out By Name I Decided To Do It The Gentle Way.
If You Decide To Update Me On Gossip I Will Suggest You Go Read My Blog. If You Don't Have Access To My Blog, I Will Simply Tell You I No Longer Participate In He Said She Said Kind Of Stuff. If You Decide To Get Upset With My Stance I Suggest You Get Over It. Don't Force Me To Take Sides. Don't Force Me To Listen To How You Were Wronged.
I May Not Be Here Tomorrow. This Blog May Be My Last. I Don't Know And You Don't Know Either. That's My Point. Is It Worth It? If Someone Tells You They No Longer Want To Be A Part Of Your Life, Come To Terms With It. You Cannot Make A Person Like You. You Need To Move On In Your Life. Enjoy What Years You Have Left On This Earth. You Just Never Know When You Get That Knock On The Door Or That Telephone Call. When Life Is Gone It's Gone Forever.
I Cannot Make It Any More Plainer Than This. I'm Done. I Don't Care If You Are A Friend, Parent, Brother, Sister, Cousin, Aunt, Uncle, Niece Or Nephew. This Blog Is Intended For You. Don't Take It Personal. If You Do, Your Mistake. I Cannot Make It Any More Clearer Than This. I Love You All. I Hope You Don't Lose A Loved One Before It Clears Your Thinking As Well As Your Heart.
I Suggest You Sit Down And Think About The Feud You Have With Someone. Can It Be Fixed? If It's Beyond Repair Then I Suggest You Move Forward In Your Life.
Why Don't You Follow My Lead And Draw Your Own Line.
