Hello pbomar1115
I recall reading your previous writings and liking them
I read your story of how you felt about your mother passing away and your feeling punk or funk not comfortable so to feel that you should do something to appease your self by writing and posting here on Fanstory is a great way to let others know of how you felt.
I say is a wonderful thing to do.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I'm so sorry for your loss, Philip, and so very sorry for the way your family treat you. Sometimes we find that old expression, 'you can choose your friends, but you can't choose your family,' is so true. I've found that many a time. It's lovely to see you back again, and writing. It's the best way to move forward. Well done, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

Sometime people become outsiders in their own family for one reason or another. It happens to the best of family's . Nice work up for this.

Comment from robyn corum
Philip,
Aaaawwww... See? This is why God puts people like us together. I'm so glad if something I said moved you. Bless your heart! I'm sorry about your mother. So sorry. I can't imagine what that dysfunctional family dynamic must do to you. But you HAVE to let what's happened become a learning event and MOVE ON. There's nothing you can do about it now.
We appreciate you and your sweet heart. Big hugs--

Your support has a magic effect. I wrote lots of stuff, attempting to impress. Now that I understand and know a few grammar rules, I can establish my own voice. But I need to master all seven. Another thing, Robyn, your words inspired me to work harder than I should have. I learned a little knowledge can drive a person a long way. You will always be my best motivator.

Comment from Sally Law
Welcome back! I had just fanned you many months ago and sensed you were struggling with some things. It is good to see you today. I am very sorry for the loss of your mother. It seems odd to live our days without them.
But, I feel the deposit, hearing her voice in my head or touching a recipe card with her writing on it. I relive these memories of her, which heal me. She, too, suffered so.
Your writing style is excellent and enjoyable to read. It had nice flow from beginning to end with great heart throughout. Keep writing, it brings healing, too.
Sending you my best today as always,
Sally :+)

Comment from Cheryl I
I'm sorry about the loss of your mother. It is always a quandary as to what to do about the rest of the family, isn't it? I'm glad you are back, and you did a fine job on this piece. God bless.

Comment from royowen
I guess the only thing I can say, we are all different, and quite often we are our own worst enemy sometimes. "No man is an island" written by John Donne, is believed by people, but no one is truly independent, I have a brother similar to yours. Enjoyed your story, well done, blesskngs, Roy
