Family, The Good, The Bad and the Ugly

Three weeks ago I lost my brother. God has chosen to end his seasons here on this earth. In my mind at this time I am thinking family would be bonding and remembering their love one that has passed. The choice that our sister and our aunt made shattered my vision. I couldn't believe that they chose to make his death about themselves.  It didn't matter a mother was grieving the lost of her son, a son the lost of his father, a sister the lost of her brother, grandchildren the lost of their grandfather and friends the lost of a good friend. All respect for this time of mourning was violated by their choice it's about me but maybe this was their way of grieving.

 This life lesson got me questioning their love and respect for the living. In death they have shown their true colors, selfishness, disrespect, and a need for their ego to shine. The thing about this situation they are still family. The bloodline is still connected but the bond for me is broken. I have forgiven but it will be a challenge for them to be a part of my life, because of their choice. I am not saying I am right and they are wrong but the respect wasn't shown in this time of grievance. 

I am choosing peace and love to guide me, I pray that eyes will be open that there is a time and place for everything.
