I am estranged from my Chinese-American family, I miss them terribly–I don’t know for sure what issues are involved (I have some ideas certainly) don’t you believe the nonsense that ‘time heals all wounds’ no it doesn’t, time is an enemy–the more time that lapses is another day for feelings and hopelessness to become hardened. As close as we were some 15 to 20 years ago, we’re that far away today. Yes I’ve attempted to communicate on occassion, waste of time–my simple Christmas letter was returned to me two seasons ago (on Christmas Eve of all days) I haven’t sent any cards, letters or attemped to communicate with them in the San Francisco area since, I don’t want my greetings and well wishes just dismissed again. So Sad!
