What's important to You??

Posted 18th October 2007, early morning

Love, Money, Lust, Family, Career or What???

There comes a time in your life that I am sure that everyone will have to choose one of these. Not just a simple descision.
What is the most important to YOU?

Right now I am going through alot of issues that deal with Money, Family, Love, and History. It is something that I would not wish on anyone. It is hard because I have a certain belief and the person that gets to make the decesion has their own. You can only say and do so much to try to change someone's mind.

Without going into to many details I will tell you a story and you give me your opinion.

There was this family that bought a large farm. Their children grew up and had children of their own. They still came out to the farm to visit and loved it out there. The children had talked about one day building a home out at the farm since they loved it so much. So, years go by and health and money issues arise. After the death of the father of the farm the son takes care of his mother when she falls ill. For years he takes care of her and the farm. She has one request and it is not to ever sell the farm. He agrees. She passes away. The son and his new wife a few months after the death of the mother decides to put the farm up for sell and move out of state. Away from the son's children and grandchildren. Not even offering to give or sell any of the farm to the children. Leaving the children behind with a loss of family, history, promises and love.

Do you do whatever it takes to keep what is important to you no matter what? Money is not everything and it only last so long. I just don't see how someone could pick Money or family, love and history. I would do anything to save that farm but, yet there is nothing I can do about it. I feel so useless. I am sure that this blog is probably confusing but, I can't really go to deep into detail. If you made it this far thanks for reading.

I think I understand, and maybe there is someone you could talk to about this? A lawyer, or a pastor, or even a brother?

I don't know. just a thought.

Thanks Nicole. It is just hard to see something that means so much to someone treated like it means nothing. What is special to one person means nothing to another. Thanks and I have done that.....except I don't have a brother...my sister is a great listener. :-)

Here's the thing: Family history is tough to remove from the realities of life. This reminds me of what the family who owned the Dille Farm must have gone through. They had a side of the family that wanted to sell and a side of the family that didn't. Since you have no control over the situation, the only thing you can hope for is that this situation does not tear a family apart. Because, at the end of the day, family is all that really matters, at least I think.

Ray you are so right. That is the one thing in life that I have figured out. So...we are just trying to put our feeling aside and at least keep the family in one piece. Which is hard when feeling have been hurt. I guess it will just make us stronger.

I have learned from experience that usually money and death make people do some unusual things. It brings out a different side of some people.

Nice to see ya Ray!!

Wow, this is certainly heartbreaking. The one thing to remember in all of this is that YOU are not the person who is breaking a promise.
Hang in there.
