blogging off steam ?
this one isn't an angry one. but it's every bit as emotional for me. in fact, i almost feel like making a new blog just for this post. i'm not trying to air dirty laundry... this honestly helps.
i know it feels wrong to admit fault when you don’t feel like you’re wrong. when you know you’re right.
but i’m coming to you with this, i’m asking you to be the one to initiate the “sorries” because i think of everyone, you’re the one that is the most grown up. you are the reasonable one.
i’m not asking you to go to your mom and say, “i was totally wrong, you were totally right. i’ll do whatever it takes to set things right,” but i am asking you to be the one who works at it. make grandma, your mom, feel like things are better. she doesn’t have to be convinced that everything is perfect. that would be unreasonable even for her, but just try to give her something to look forward to. something she can’t deny is better than before you talked to her. i would love to see you be the one who puts forth the effort to do what it takes for the other person to feel better. to feel loved.
after all, that’s all family is called to do. we just have to love each other. and it’s not always easy, and it may feel like defeat even, but it’s what each one of us has to do.
