After just receiving a call from sista telling me first of all asking where was I (I was in bed with the pain in my arm) told her I was making dinner for dog.

Anway making a very long story short - one of our great nieces about 4 has been to her house and between this little one and her made arrangements to come to my house tomorrow for 6 hours so that the little one can play with dog.

1. I said I don't trust dogs and children together like Judge Judy
2. Is Dad coming - no - just her and me - I have met this child twice
3. I am not well but she will not take that on (is sick of me being sick)
4. She says I am an adult (her) I will be there (she is terrified of dogs)
5 I am an annoyed cos she made arrangements ie taxies -picking the child her up etc without consulting me first of all.

Anyway just after ringing me and telling me she is bringing the child up tomorrow.

I do not want to be responsible for 6 hours of dog and child - that's how long sista stays.

I am not well with lots of pain in my body so cannot run around like I used to

I am over 60 years of age.

I told her NO - so she said I am going to have call that child back and tell her she can't come - and hung up with a few derogatory words about me.

Why didn't she CONSULT me first. Then all what I have said before would have been mentioned. This child has met me twice -

Did I do wrong. I truly worry about child and dog together - we can't look after them for 6 hours all the time and this I would worry about. what do you think.

That's the saddest thing you've ever written - you would so like to talk about her son in fond remembrance but she has put up a wall of silence.

Hope tomorrow is a pleasant one for you both.

mamy - she never brought him home to the house - she never went to the chapel - she never saw his coffin - she didn't come to the "do" afterwards - so I think in her head he never died - course she knows he has - never a mother did you ever see who simply adored her son - never. She was tying his shoe laces at 15 years old and I was there - I cracked up and the two of them killed themselves laughing at me. I know the day he died - she died and I know she will never be at rest until she is at rest herself.

Mamylynne - a wall of silence for 10 long years. I think I am cracking up over it all. I know many women who have lost their sons and would truly believe THEIR AUNTS didn't give a fiddle as much as me.

A true shame she cannot share her thoughts with you - talking is so therapeutic but some people just cannot do it.
