Hi List,    Things have quieted down here. I guess it was Saturday night when Bryan spoke with his sister in OH, and the MI family called her, that things got really nasty. Bryan now realizes that his brother was making trouble and lying to him. Lord only knows what was said about me (nothing polite I'm sure!) but I don't care. I only care about my hubby and his feelings. Things were rough for me as I could see the lies but didn't want to "force" Bryan to see it. It was better that he saw for himself. I could prove what I said but the bro couldn't. Bryan knows I hate his brother (I know, hate is a strong word but somehow dislike just doesn't cut it. lol). His bro told many lies about me and things I supposedly said about my m-i-l last year that I have nothing to do with him and refuse to speak with him unless Bryan or a reliable witness is there. Bryan and his sister feel we did the best thing possible with the situation and that is all I care about. Bryan's happy, I'm happy. We were told the funeral home went forward with the cremation and that has lifted a burden from his heart. There for a few days he did not know where his mother's body was. Now he knows where she is, that the cremation has gone forward and that the family has the ashes. I don't see any trips to MI in the future. They sure did make Bryan mad. But I figure that will pass and he'll miss his family eventually.    Take today to tell your loved ones you love them and care. tracy --- On Mon, 1/26/09, Lynn wrote: Sometimes, Tracy, you just gotta get it out. Hope things quiet down for you all. Maybe it was better being an only child, with no one to answer to, when my mom passed away 22 years ago, come this February. Sit back, take a deep breath, and if you gotta blow again, just let 'er rip!

I knew it would settle down at some point.? Unfortunately, it did not happen in my husbands family.? I think all families have some issues eventually.???
