I was 5th in the family, too, and I was sure I was adopted because I felt I was always the one my mother would ask to run errands. When I told my mom that she laughed and called me Bridget when she asked me to run an errand. Probably the only time I felt my Mom was insensitive but I never forgot it. Part of the problem is our Swedish heritage is not very touchy, feely, etc and so we don't feel adored ever or wanted. Although we all adored Carole. After Richard died I had nightmares every night. I was either left behind not being able to get dressed in time or I lost my purse, my car, my direction or I was running from someone and all alone with my fears. Maria finally bought me a dream book to help analyze my nightmares. I was sure no one in the world loved me but Richard and so I was so alone. Took a long time to get over if indeed I ever have.

Your story about your mother and the art show drew me in, made me care about her and her deep understanding of moments that matter, and it reminded me of my mother and her love of art as well.

I was told that I strayed from my family's roots. It's pretty awesome to have that division in your family and your country. I voted my conscience which meant I did not vote for either candidate, and was accused of being a coward because I didn't vote for a main party candidate. For me the cowardice lay in voting for someone I didn't believe in. I'm sick at heart over these election results. I'm not sick over who I voted for.<br /><br />I think your dad would respect your voted because it seems he had an open mind. He could look across party lines to see the good and integrity in people.christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450107285194913871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198949160795239403.post-45924421411636849862016-10-27T07:37:45.396-07:002016-10-27T07:37:45.396-07:00Melissa, you are absolutely right.
