The purpose of war, is peace

Good Evening; or whatever is the appropriate greeting in your part of the world.

It has been an unique day. I enjoyed having lunch with my 'partner in crime' good friend. We 'hit it off' as per usual; and it was a 'saneful' break from the last tid few interesting weeks. I invited my friend to come in for a glass of wine; as we had barely scratched the surface! And, lo and behold...the 'out of town' sibling was at our house. He and my friend had experienced the same part of the U.S. for a bit; so that was a nice introduction; before she and I disappeared to further enjoy our visit.

The sibling was 'pressuring' the Dad' to 'bond'; as in getting him out of the house. Apparently, the sibling was not going to take no for an answer; inasumch as the Dad was tired from his earlier daytime committments. This has all been pretty exhausting for the Dad; dementia or not. Well, the Dad let the sibling 'have it!'. Basically, WHY all the attention NOW? and that he definitely does NOT want to see the other 2 siblings...That is how he felt at the time; and how he truly feels. Alan had no idea of what his Dad was going to say on the phone, when he handed it to him. That was when the Dad discouraged the sibling to take him out; then the sibling came over to our place.

Eventhough, we were in the 'other' room, we could hear the conversation; even over our own. ie The sibling was pressuring the Dad; and being a bit of a 'pr- - -!" Excuse me, but you can fill in the blanks. I was so tempted to 'jump in' there and 'set things straight'; but CHOSE not to; and also thanks to my friend, who agreed, not a good idea at the time; in other words, let them ' work it out'. Plenty of time later to express my thoughts to the siblings. This sibling is 'micro minded'; no more, no less; and this same sibling will be in touch with Alan, as per visiting the Dad - here. This should be interesting...I have already asked Alan that he be here, when that happens; just take my word for it. Alan also invited the other siblings via this sibling to come over..ie you can come over and see Dad as much as you want..We do not think that is a likelihood; but we are "ready" should that ever take place. The other 2 siblings are so angry and so full of hate. We know that with PEACE and LOVE; that works best.

We are glad it is the end of the day.

Good night and God Bless.
