We are becoming more cooperative in some ways, and in other ways we seem to be coming apart at the hinges. We will make it though. We are survivors. She is learning about us now, which is hard for all, and creating turmoil in the ranks. But that is inevitable.
Inevitable things happen for a reason.
I would like to think that the reason is so that we can learn to accept and appreciate one another and live together in harmony, as a family should. We have spent enough of our time already in this life, rebelling against one another so is time to learn cooperation and consideration. It is yet another hard road but this one is even more rewarding to follow. This reward will be to live, and live good.
