We work at it. Some people just gripe but don't want to give and make the effort that mothers and fathers make to gather the family together and lead. Family is leadership, it is everything, joy, blessing, thanksgiving and the future hope. i am grateful for your family and for you and your husband.Karen Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05892103639142471595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-9660878803856036572012-12-03T11:16:46.058-06:002012-12-03T11:16:46.058-06:00Your table is GORGEOUS!

We went through it for years (three siblings with bipolar disorders, strained relationships, etc) and we have a few clashing personalities at times, but at this point we've just all tried to accept each other for who we are. I think the past 5 or ten years with my dad's Alzheimer's and my mom's cancer has really brought us all closer. <br /> <br />And like you said, at least you can laugh about it. That helps! ;) Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390236678783638686.post-68418551497062033082012-11-23T13:50:43.269-06:002012-11-23T13:50:43.269-06:00Oh dear, I'm afraid I'm in that category o...Oh dear, I'm afraid I'm in that category of 'complicated relationships' with family members.
