History

Does the old say hold true... Does history really repeat itself? Or knowing the history...can we some how change our future?

I have often thought about this very topic...I was told once by a very good, smart friend... Not everything is Black and White, there are shades of gray too.

In our family the history of repeating itself lies in siblings. In both my mothers and fathers families they each did not get a long with their siblings in adulthood and stopped speaking to each other. I have no real knowledge of the "why" but more importantly is to acknowledge this pattern and learn. I have this same issue with my own sister, as kids we didn't really get along and now that we are adults... the rift has widened and we too no longer speak.

I'd like to end this cycle with my own children. I want my daughters and son to love each other and be there for one another. I am hoping that History does not repeat itself........time will only tell.......
