Resigned to the Fact

When my father passed in 2005 my brother was barely speaking with me.
When my mother passed in 2007 we had not spoken for at least a year.
When my aunt passed in 2010 I was still speaking with my sister.
We inherited my aunt's home and the Earth took a strange spin. I sold
my "half" of the inheritance to my sister - but she was not at all happy.
Even though I asked for one fourth instead of one half its worth.
She has not spoken to me since August of 2011.
So, this is the way families grow apart.... the older generation dies and there isn't any more pretense of keeping peace in the family.

There just isn't any more family. Pity.
