Why Oh Why?

This is probably a rhetorical question and believe me, not at all quilt related. Why is it that you see people's true colors come through when it comes down to a major family issue? Why do you have to see the ugly side of them? Why can't it all just fade away in a time of pain? I truly just don't get it. In talking with my dad, I asked why he hasn't talked to his brother since 1969? Oh because he got mad at something his brother's wife did. So you aren't going to talk to you brother....ever? Nope. Same thing on my husband's side. I really don't get it. I don't understand the human mind and why it won't let go and move on. Why do things have to be held in hearts and then spewed out when everyone is hurting?

Again I say rhetorical. No responses needed. If you need to, email me directly.
