I never went back to my roots much....but last year I did to take care of my mom which I have spoken of here....
I met my brother's son, he was a very nice young man.......I really liked him...trying to build relationships on short time spans is not at all easy however one way I have of telling if some is comfortable with me is when they ask a question and I vaguely remember him asking about why I did not attend my biological daughter's wedding....
My bio daughter is a wonderful person and is very generous and like me has this openness that is to be admired. She and her parents took a trip to my home town to meet the family. I did not attend that either...I was asked but I was in Oregon and ill at the time and I also felt it was there trip....after that meeting my mom and her parents kept in contact, hence, when the wedding came up...they generously invited them.
Well, I could not attend because I felt like that was her special day with her parents. They had raised her and they needed to be given the honor that they deserved for all the hard work they did. I felt like my presence would have been distracting and I did not want her mom to have any feelings other than the joy a mother feels when her child meets the man she is to spend her life with... and they celebrate that occasion.
I hope that he understood...I am living up to my expectations of me...
