life with a French man

In April 2006 it was Kim who was mostly burning the midnight oil so as to write the blog entries.

Most of them revolved around friendship and her stormy relationship with her sister.

Let me first, in brief, tell you what she wrote about friendship. Basically, she reminisced about her best friend from kindergarten and the high school and how their relationships had fallen apart. I think that many of us had a smiliar experience. You had this amazing friend, who booned your life enormously, with whom you had heaps of fun etc In other words, you were kindred spirits.

Suddenly, or so it appears to you, you grow apart. You don't know your friend anymore like the back of your hand and your special relationship turns into dust.

Everytime I come to think of this issue, I remember what Agatha Christie said in her autobiography (my adapted version):

" Every special moment in life should be experienced only once. If you recreate it, the magic is lost."

Maybe she is right....

Now I come to what Kim wrote about the relationship she had with her sister in 2006. Sadly but true, it was non-existent at that time. The reason for that stems from her sister's belief that she was and still is the black sheep of the family. Doubtless there are far more colossal problems that had lead to the situation at hand, which made Kim succumb to despair. She only had the sincere hope that both her sister and her will once summon up the energy to talk to each other again.

Although I'm an only child,I can imagine it to be the worst nightmare when your sibling doesn't want to see you. Why does life always have to be so complicated? I mean we live on this planet only for a limited time and still we seem not to be possible to do it in peace and sharing love and understanding amongst each other.

Anyway, let's move on to more life-affirming topics. Easter is at our door and Thomas wrote about the way Easter is celebrated in France. If you wish to read more about how Easter is celebrated around the world (including France) look at:

and a very happy Easter (can you say that?) to all of you. Try not to indulge in too many chocolate eggs.
