I won't go into the details but I have a brother who lives 50 miles away from me but we haven't spoken to eachother in 3 yrs. Yesterday I went to go see him, just showed up no warning at all a surprise attack. Anyway we spent a few hrs talking & looking at old photos of family, friends & pets, yet not a word was said of the spat we had. When I was ready to go home I noticed he had a tree that fell in his yard, so I went to Sears & bought him a new chainsaw complete with oil & a gas too. So I guess in a way I buried the hatchet with a chainsaw

Thats awesome!..i to am going thru a situation and it feels good to be able to put the past behind and move on, in my case it was a missing puzzle piece in my life that got put back lol

That's great that ya'll have both found the capacity to forgive within yourselves. now if that same spirit of mercy would just spread itself a little more around the world... hey, we can always hope can't we?

Well I was the one who flew off the handle which isn't like me at all, so I felt if it was ever going to end I had to take the 1st step

lol it would be nice if we could do that :)

@ TenFour-good morning John! and you're quite right. we all make mistakes. when we take ownership of them, anything is possible. the first step begins with us. @ Gracie75- good morning Lacey! i was just about to wink a howdy atcha lol. life is way too short & time is too valuable to carry grudges. there are so many better things to spend our energy on than negative thoughts & feelings. i hope ya'll both have a wonderful weekend!

@1honestman: Goodmorning, got your wink lol ;) and you are so right, life is to short, my family is coming back together and that is the best christmas present i could ever get!

@Gracie75: that is good news! i'm happy for ya hon!
