Thanks @tyme - I agree.

My parents were not there for me - my Dad got over it - we were on good terms at the end of his life - which was a great comfort for me - it still is.

My mother never did - and that was her choice - it's a pity that.

But - most importantly - I have learned though all of that - I am definitely there for my daughter - she has a few things to learn though.

It's marvelous what I have learned through my long life - this truth - people do not learn something if they are not listening - we can hope something gets though the silence.

And I have learned that silence might be golden - but the truth is beyond value I am okay though.

I am glad your family was there for you - that is fantastic to hear
