Hey Julie....
I hope you are doing well girl....Long time no "see"!!!
I was off for awhile myself...So you may have been around when I wasn't!!!
Anyway....I know exactly how you feel!! You want to give them all of this information about "the family", and it is hard to tell if they really are interested????
I find myself doing the same thing!! Like my grandmother is selling her house...Emotionally pretty hard for me....I LOVE that place!! I told my bdaughter this through email, why I don't know....To me she is a part of my family....She is flesh of my flesh....But I don't know if she gives one flip!!!
Continue to share with her....It may mean more than you realize. She may not respond in the way you want her to, but it shows you feel she is part of the family!!! Just my humble opinion!!!
