I'm not remotely surprised by the shabby behaviour of your uncle and his wife; families seem to throw up contrasts that are painful to live with and to recall. Thank goodness they didn't procreate!<br />(My father dressed very much in the style of your uncle, but happily there any similarity ends.)Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-16636458361702666632011-01-05T15:06:16.556+00:002011-01-05T15:06:16.556+00:00My parents took an insurance policy out on me with...My parents took an insurance policy out on me without my knowledge when I was an adult.

I know little of the brother, except for his apparently selfish lifestyle. I can only hope things all balance out by the utmost respect I have for my friend's husband for the gracious way he thanklessly takes care of another human being.<br />I presume your father was that kind of man too. It's comforting to know that people like them exist(ed).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00728645243327906117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-17728883257507864302011-01-05T09:25:02.504+00:002011-01-05T09:25:02.504+00:00And these blogs can introduce siblings to previous...And these blogs can introduce siblings to previously unseen family photos! I only met my father's brother once when I was a kid, because they fell out during the war. By that time, he was a publican in Devon, who spent his last 10 years in an armchair downstairs - too big to get up his own staircase.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-46563953912058060902011-01-05T08:58:35.744+00:002011-01-05T08:58:35.744+00:00It's on the wall in my sitting room!It's on the wall in my sitting room!Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-48837738863064738192011-01-05T08:36:17.584+00:002011-01-05T08:36:17.584+00:00I've never seen that photo of Dad before.........I've never seen that photo of Dad before.......Susan Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14400003572211042194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-25979430689957312632011-01-05T05:41:41.332+00:002011-01-05T05:41:41.332+00:00Isn't blogging a great medium for getting thin...Isn't blogging a great medium for getting things off one's chest.
