Lovers deprived of each other's love. Families filled with anger, silence, smugness, nervousness - all of it because we are unable to forgive. For these people - forgiveness is a distant concept. No one can forget the pains of the past - but we can forgive. A while ago, I came across and old Ann Landers Column.
Time somehow seems more precious.
My parents suddenly seem old. My aunts and uncles are sick, and I fear they don't have many years left. I haven't seen some of my cousins for several years. I really love my family, Ann, but we have grown apart. I've known since childhood.
