:I'm sorry if you think that my message was cruel and condescending. The sight of my grandparents' tomb and its state of abandonment were, to me, cruel and condescending to their memory. Only one tia? I believe that there's more than one (Happy Birthday today to aunt Rafaela - one of the missing aunts). And, it's not for me to mention names - it is for their conscience to decide who should be named. I'm happy to hear that you have not suffered ill will from members of the family. It's sad that neither my uncle Tony or aunt Donna can share that good fortune. There ARE many nice memories about this family. It's a pity that most of them belong to those who have already passed away.
It would be nice if we could try to be nice to one another here. I though this web page was suppose to be a fun thing about sharing. Not something so cruel and condescending. We only have ONE TIA here and I am hoping that what is being said is not being directed to Titi Yolanda. If you want to talk about "Tias" then you should name them so other feelings are not hurt.
: There must be many many wonderful things you can talk about our family. Personally I love ALL my family. Both good or bad. I cannot not say anyone in my family has ever directly hurt me. Talking bad about family only alienates us from one another. I thought we were suppose to be closer.
: Johnny and I were even talking about a family reunion for next year. I am sure there is a lot of good in us cousins. Please don't tear us apart. Mili
