These are rare pictures of my parents, our children, Catherine, and myself; taken in Christmas 2004. This represented a rare moment when we all got along nicely, even if we felt otherwise. And that is all I have ever wanted. Since I will never be able to bring back the past, the picture of a good memory will remain forever plastered on this web page.
In a nutshell, I was forced to choose between my wife or my family, and nothing I say will resolve the situation. I think it is unforgiveable that my parents did not say to the family members "We love the grandchildren, it is best to get along and accept them. Please do this for us ..." but this will never happen.
I have included a brief history of issues between my folks and myself, as well as the letters that were exchanged since 2005. I think they speak for themselves. Please read them and let me know what you think in my guest book, I need the reassurance that I am not going slowly insane over this petty nonsense.
