I felt somewhat graced by your actions in lighting the Candles in memory of a truly great friendship and the obvious love you have for your mum and her friend.
Family and friends often "fall out" over issues and at times, over very minute and stupid things. I think forgiveness is the greatest admirable quality in ones character and I have always felt such despair and sadness when relationships are ruined by a "falling out".
My Great Uncle and Grandfather and a "fall out" in their late 60's after near a lifetime of friendship. Its a lesson for the future. No matter how angry or hurt we feel /experience.. somehow U just have to find some forgiveness and forget the stubborness Im right/their wrong - they can aplogise first stuff that goes on.
Great long term relationships are ones to be cherished. !!
