Families split and are separated from each other....My husband and I split up when my son was only 6 months old. From the time we split and he moved to another part of the country (married a woman from work that he was having an affair with)--- he had not visited my son for several years. When my son was almost 3 years old I was reading an article by Goldie Hawn's daughter and she talked about how much she had missed by not having her biological father in her life when she was young. She loved Kurt Russell, but when she was older and saw her biological father she said she could never make up the time they lost, as a child growing up and not having him be part of her life. It pained me so much to read her article and see how hard that was on her as a child. The next day I called my ex husband and asked him to come visit his son and make an effort to be part of his life and at least give him a chance to know him. Shortly after he did visit....and they have a good relationship. He is now 13 years old and sees his dad at least 3 or four times a year.<br />Death is so final, and closes the door of opportunity. I hope you do have a chance to at least get to know your other two brothers. My thoughts and prayers are with younixpixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339801666219777146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878494691219757115.post-17278659958966521452010-02-23T21:25:07.964-07:002010-02-23T21:25:07.964-07:00I think your brother knows how you feel in your he...I think your brother knows how you feel in your heart towards him, even from the other side. You have the opportunity to make a fresh start with your other brothers.<br /><br />I think your reaction to a 'stranger's' hug was entirely normal, given the circumstances. You shouldn't feel stupid at all. Your heart was broken for all sorts of things, and those emotions needed to be released. Her touch sparked that release.<br /><br />Virtual hugs to you.lavenderdivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13889610644756634091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1878494691219757115.post-14989565447399706862010-02-22T10:18:54.919-07:002010-02-22T10:18:54.919-07:00Beautiful lesson and resolve.

Even though you did not know your brother very well, to have an opportunity to know the other two is a wonderful gift. I wish you peace as you move toward building those relationships.Lishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15414652285659707925noreply@blogger.com
