Forgiveness

There's been some frustrating feelings while trying to plan out Switzerland trip.  I guess that's what happens when you put 4 strong willed/ stubborn females together.  I prayed and prayed to figure out what I could do to help mend the hurt and was told to write and email and as I was driving home for shopping for Kaila's birthday stuff the words started coming to me.  I got home and got my computer out and started typing it out.  Not sure how it was accepted since I never got a response one way or the other but I knew I needed to do something and I did.  I really truly hope that this trip will be filled with happy and wonderful moments that we will cherish for our lives.  It would be a wonderful bonus to have our lives bonded more together too!

Here's my letter:

Jen,

I love you and Becca both dearly.  I hate having a conflict between anyone and especially among us as sisters. From your email I see you felt insulted by Becca's comments.  She felt as I did too that your email about us asking for two days wasn't said kindly.  I understand you felt like we keep pushing you off (I can understand that) but we aren't doing it to be mean but wanting to be able to put our best efforts in for the trip and research and knew a couple more days would make that easier to do.  In response about the price of the rooms going up, I felt she wasn't blaming you for the price going up but was simply stating she had thought you had booked rooms already since she had booked Zurich for the Marriotts and was under the impression that you were looking into other lodging.  I too thought that was the case but we both must have been wrong. Sorry about that misunderstanding.  

I think the best thing we can all do is forgive each other.  Take a deep breath and try to forget what has happened, been said, not said, implied, thought and move on with a "clean slate."  As Anne said, "tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it." :-)

Love you Sis!!  I'm excited for us to all be together on this trip.
