I hope so..I find myself thinking about your situation from time to time since you posted it. I would be hurt if my siblings didnt want to see anyone int he family..your poor mom! Ill keep your family in my prayers and hope someday your brother comes around. Life is to short to hold the past against anyone..nothing you can do about it anyway. Might as well let it go and move on..I hope your brother does that. Best of luck Mary!!! Michele Lockwood
