My big brother. Hooray!

Just when I think our relationship isnt as good as it could be, my brother and his wife stop by out of the blue and give my son a brand new Spiderman scooter! We had such a nice visit. His wife and I caught up on everything with everyone, my fiancee and my brother clowned around and made fun of everyone as usual. My big brother tossed my 3 year old son around like a rag doll and he loved it! Thank god because he's getting a little too big for me to be doing it anymore. We watched dangerous catch and I gave them a bunch of old pics my dad had left here for me when he visited. My brother's wife held my new baby and snuggled with her, it was so sweet. Then when they were about to leave, the visit took a more sentimental turn. My brother asked if I had, or planned on speaking to my mother. We really haven't had any kind of a relationship in the past 5 years at least. My grandmother passed away recently. I felt bad for my mother and i stupidly gave her another chance and got burned again. I told my brother that I had no intentions of patching things up with her because of the lies but moreover, what hurts me the most is that she doesn't care about my 2 children at all. I have a beautiful 3 year old son and a gorgeous 4 month old daughter that she wouldn't spit on if they were on fire because she hates their father. My brother's wife, who is very familiar with the situation nodded her head in agreement and said that it's true. My mother doesn't care about my kids one bit. So, my brother and I concurred that life is too short and that she isnt worth losing any sleep over. So, I feel a lot better. Sometimes people get sucked into other's miserable crap, but siblings are forever. I'm so glad my Layla Bear has her big brother, just like I have mine.
