I still have some anger about that, LOL. There were extenuating circumstances in some cases, but let’s just say that my closest friends today are not the same people who were close to me back then. And as for my family — my parents’ bitter divorce has prevented everyone from being able to congregate for an event, but that pisses me off, too. I feel like they should be able to set that aside once every few years for a big, important event. Ugh.

I couldn’t agree with you more. Thank you so much for this!
