I guess we probably all have had that experience before ......sharing
info with relatives and getting nothing in return. I know, I certainly
have! Many times, I have gone to a great deal of trouble to put
together reports, photos, etc. and shared them with a family member,
only asking for a COPY of a photo I know they have, or some small,
(but helpful) tidbit of information that was promised to me......and
not getting it. Sigh. I'd like to think that, in most cases, the
person intended to come through as promised, but just forgets or life
just gets in the way. I have also had many a pleasurable exchange of
information with lots of other folks along the way. It's just the way
it is. Hopefully, you will have more positive than negative
experiences in this regard!
Merry Christmas to all!
Kathy
