ORIGINAL: LadyHibiscus I am grateful every day that my parents are with me, and that we had the demon that was my grandmother until she was nearly 99. It hasn't been the easiest life, and I learned early that "love" "like" "respect" and "trust" are things that can be totally independent of each other, but I value my family above everything. I admit that we can choose new families too. I love my sisters of heart. I admit I do value that I had my grandparents as long in my life as they were there....Grandpa died 2005, Granny 2007....he was an alcoholic as he (in our view) never got over the times of war and whilst he was horrible the last 10-15 years, I do focus on the days when he placed values into my life, like honesty, like not just easily accept a ride home from school by my neighbour (now...his fear was wrong on that one but he was true on a different one...so he got it to watch out for his grandkid...) and went mad about stuff like when I had a lighter with me and confiscated it...now...he was a bit over the top, but as I see it...he cared about me...something I cant claim much about my parents...and my Granny was my soul mate anyway... So I simply see myself as always having been the kids from my grandparents way more than from my parents....hence why I am closer to them... I admit, though, it still baffles me at times how I don't dream from granny anymore since I am back in my country....as she regularly turned up whilst I was living in the UK...seems that old lady got lazy now and thinks I don't need her anymore with being back home
