I guess Christmas was as good a time as any
to clear the air of the past
while the buzz is still on real strong,
relationships crumble just that fast.

Not my brother by blood, only marriage.
My daughter...pure blood and bone.
And I wonder who you are to judge anyone,
that's exactly why you are still alone.

I guess what you don't understand
is that your money doesn't mean a thing,
family...those who stick with you in all,
that is what makes a true heart sing.

It's true what they say about true colors
and blood being thicker than water,
and you ceased to be my brother
when you insulted my daughter.

Merry Christmas to you too.

YOU GO GIRL!

I'm the same way about my family - do NOT insult one of them (regardless of my presence at the time, cause I WILL find out about it later LOL)! I'm like a junkyard dawg about my clan. I'll make kibbles and bits out of anyone if they're rude to someone who belongs to me!

I hope you showed him this!

Hugs~~

YAY!  Way to go Dixie Gal!!  

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Dixie, you're one helluvva Chick!

I'm a real Leo Mom! Anyone who hurts one of my cubs in any way whatsoever, they'll hear this lioness roar to the high heavens!

I'm glad you got to spill your guts! There now, doesn't that feel better!

I'm glad you finally got the words to let it out. I hope you feel better.  I hope he feels worse.

Dixie...It is always such a freeing feeling to let go a rant that you've been holding.  Wishing you love, blood or otherwise.
