Hey Bella @PeppyPatti 

 

Not sure what happened in that post. I could see you started by recalling our early times. Then there was a mention of lies. It didn't add up .... I don't even know if it was dumb auto correct and not even you.

 

I just tried to text "hissy missies" to describe my 2 kittens meeting each other after being separated for 20 days. They were litter sisters but I could only get foster carer for one. Now I am back home and my son is home from hospital and we picked up 2nd kitten yesterday. 

 

 

It's so weird it evolved this way. It reflects a little what my brothers and sister and I went through in the 1960s. Being farmed out and then back together but for us it was different amounts of years apart.  I remember laying in bed at 12 trying to reassure younger sister at 8 but all she was thinking about was her foster sister. Mother made me diplomat to get the children back from the welfare. Somehow I never rated as a person for my self just doing what others wanted. I am slowly learning to hold my ground. My sister's foster experience was relatively good compared to the rest of us and a LOT richer than us. She was always torn between the 2 families. I accepted that but couldn't make our circumstances better than they were no matter how hard I worked or listened or tried to cheer her up. There was just too much complexity then and now. 

 

Anyway don't worry about it. Peppi I always valued your presence.
