I feel uncomfortable
I don't know what to say
I feel it is inconventient
I feel it is a waste of time
I don't want to talk to them
I feel I have nothing in common with them
I feel guilty for not communicating with them more
I feel like a stranger
I feel put upon
I feel I won't measure up to what I should be

Now list why we should go !! Ben
1. THERE IS ALWAY THE CHANCE THAT THIS WOULD BE THE VERY LAT TIME THAT YOU WOULD SEE ANY OF THE FAMILY, BE IT YOU OR ANY OF THEM.
2. IF THAT WERE THE CASE, THEN YOU WOULD FEEL A DOUBLE LOSS BECAUSE YOU DID NOT MAKE THE EFFORT OR SPEND THAT LITTLE BIT OF YOUR TIME TO SEE THEM AND YOU WOULD REGRET IT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
in truth for me, for me, all the above reasons to Not go are the reason to go. After the reunion, I am always glad I (we) went . Ben
While those are all very good reasons for not going, and we can all identify with them, maybe they are also the best reasons for going.
Maybe others need from you what you don't even know what you're giving; a sense of closeness, a sense of blood family, a sense of identity. And, if that doesn't work for you, think of what
GWW (Glenna would want). Yes, we are all individuals with unique life experiences that have led us back to us getting together as adults to recognize our commonalities.

because this could be the most incrediable reunion ever. i for one am v-e-r-y excited about it.
so you better be there - chuck
Personally, I'm looking forward to Chucks story telling.
We all live our seperate lives in our seperate little worlds. Mine feels safe and secure! To get together with my own flesh and blood .. but whom are strangers .. is kindsa scary; but I also feel glad after I take that step .. that I did it. For years, I didn't. I missed out on many memories. I feel as if I can value my relationships, even with the strangers of my life, better now. So I take the risk of feeling judged, disliked, dysfunctional, knowing the truth of blood heritage, etc .. for the good I feel out of being with my big sisters and brothers and my little brothers .. feeling like I am little suzy again .. shy, bold, scarred a little and excited.
It is so out of the control of being me in my own safe world .. Yet every year I feel a little safer amongst the strangers of my life.
Can't wait ..
how do you think i feel? after all i am the baby and the baby, or the last born, is the one who usually gets neglected. its going to be cool ,because it sounds like all the 10 are going to make it.
or am i wrong?
glenda, peter, bonnie, ben, chuck, lisi, lili, suzie, jim and i . yep thats 10.
i think this will be a first whoo hoo.
man this could be a real milestone. no black sheep this year.
i still love ya all :)
the other reason to go is really simple.
YOUR FAMILY.
Or the baby is a spolied rotten kid who thinks he was neglected .. LOL >> yeah .. that would be you, Dickie. And as far as being negelcted .. I was the youngest of my adopted family and I have a youngest child and a youngest gr child .. beleive me, brother .. youngest gets most the attention in most cases ! And I rememeber you as a child, lil brat !
I think it's beacause you are the only light skinned blond thing in a rouzaud / garcia family; you feel neglected ! Sorry ! LOL >>
to the above statement...
untrue.
I was never adopted.
