In shadows of families past, secrets hide
Withheld whispers of truth, kept deep inside
A maze of denial, a web of unspoken words
Echoes of silence, where pain quietly stirs
A daughter’s plea, a grandfather’s concern
Seeking answers untold, eager to learn
But walls of resistance, cold and high
Leave hearts in turmoil, beneath the sky
Yet love persists, a beacon bright
Guiding the way through the darkest night
In seeking the truth, in breaking the chains
We find strength in the midst of our pains
For family is more than just blood and name
It’s the bond that endures, the eternal flame
So persist, dear one, in your quest for light
And know that in love, all wrongs can be made right
My mother didn't tell me when a family friend passed away, and she tried to, "Not allow" me to go to another family friends funeral. These are women I've known my entire life. Anywho... I've asked her on several occasions through email about medical information. She doesn't respond to me. So when my ENT asked about my grandmother's brain tumor, (my mother's mother) I knew she wouldn't respond. I don't typically put my grandpa in the middle of our drama, nor do I really discuss my mother anymore anyway. However, I needed to know. So, I was at his house one day and asked him to call her while I was there. He put her on speaker phone, and I got the information I needed. My grandpa looks at me and says, "Is that all you need?" I said, "Yup." Then I chuckled and went on about my business, as if that call had never happened. I do not have a brain tumor, by the way, that I know of. I'm just having strange symptoms and the ENT said that information was important.
