An unusual story, showing how twisted relationships can become and what we never really know about the other persons in our extended families. Some we completely lose track of. On facebook I've discovered some family and some old friends.
How you keep track of all this is amazing.

Thanks Gail. I was on FB then left for 18 months and only came back to keep in touch with family...which I never really achieved. A few FS'ers are on Facebook after all that is where we first learned of FS anyway. I forget where you are? Look for Geoffrey Moore in Australia went to Ryde High School if you wanna connect on Fb. Have found we can be friends and not follow if we dowanna be bombed by Likes and stuff.
Comment from Jeffrey Ford
I love what I just read! The story gives a real description of family life. From the side of how the Mother in law and Father in law could not stand being alone on holidays to darker family issues such as suicide. I like how every family member is different and how honest the narrator was with her opinion of them. I enjoyed the twist of how Nin was much older than her current husband. I think that adding more twist to the story would really keep the readers on their toes. Awesome story!

Comment from Brett Matthew West
Never knew of a family that did not possess deep, dark, secrets. Now the cat is out of the bag on these. Interesting reading. Hard sometimes to know which secrets to reveal and which ones to leave alone.

Yeah mate my wife suspected there were secrets and we appreciated her "Half" Aunty sharing it all with her. (Her father's Half-sister.)
Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
My aunt had my cousin right before Christmas in 2001 but didn't tell my parents for us til the baby died 8 days later. She never called to say the baby was born and had the baby not died my parents and us probably still wouldn't have known. Families are a crazy and complicated thing.

Comment from barbara.wilkey
Thank you for sharing. Families are hard to deal with. I doubt anybody has a prefect family. I sure don't and neither does my husband. LOL I
But no one calls anyone aunty or uncle these days do they? (comma before do)

You are probably right on both counts. Thanks for coming by. It is not just the title, we were never accorded any interests either regardless of titles.
Comment from AnnieDawn
Family relationships are very difficult at times and yours seems no different. It has been a trial for you and your wife but you seem to be handling all of it well. The two of you seem to be a perfect match. Keep up the good work. My prayers are with you.

Thanks Sis. We are just so sorry the nephews and nieces have not made an effort to be closer. As I think I said we feel it has been discouraged by their parents...probably being believers has a lot to do with it.

Comment from Ben Colder
Family secrets sometimes are like marbles joshing around in a small bag with a hole in the bottom. Sooner or later one is bound to fall out. Your group sounds like typical in many aspects LOL.

Thank you for sharing more about your in-laws and the explanation of "the leaving". I am glad things have improved somewhat over the years in that regard. Here's to a pleasant weekend- Joan

Thanks Joan. Glad you liked the explanation of the Leaving. For the first 3 years they clung to us like glue...almost suffocating us. Appreciate the review.
Comment from royowen
I agree Geoff...family can be extremely difficult. My mother had this terrible "ownership" thing, and to my horror I discovered it was part of me, when I gave away my elder daughter, it took two years of fervent prayer to be released of this infernal curse, but praise be to God, who takes away our bondage and affliction. He expects us to steward our children, not own them. Well done, just have compassion, they love you in their peculiar way Geoff. Beautifully and revealingly written. But thanks for sharing, probably a good release for you Geoof. Merry Christmas and a happ, healthy, and spiritually and monetarily prosperous time, for you, Louise and families, from the Owenses, blessings, Roy

Thanks Bro. Just so sorry we are not doing our trips anymore. Would have been nice to have met in the flesh. Maybe in Glory, huh! Thanks for the inspiring review. God Bless. We are doing Christmas alone this year for various reasons.

We tend to fly these days...it's actually cheaper

Yeah well they won't help with Louise's wheelchair on the cheap flights.

That's no good
