Tommy & Amanda
I feel sorrow when I reflect upon it, but I wasn't really there in my nephew's life and I've never met my three-year-old niece. I mean realistically my options are limited. Any contact with them means contact with my brother who will try and get money from me, and or contact with Cynthia who hates me for no good reason.
Had I not been denied an offer to visit when trying to make amends I would likely be back in their lives and be able to connect with my niece and nephew. Cynthia said no and told my sister "he can't call every time he is having a bad day" I believe her and my brother thought I needed them and they could control me when realistically I feel sorry for them. They wanted to put me in a nursing home when I was 27 but thanks to my sister I instead got a college degree from Arkansas State University and even made the Dean's List my first semester
Going back to Tommy and Amanda. If my brother hadn't started the lawsuit I would have been a great Uncle to the kids. Younger years are formative for an individual so I regret not being able to teach them sign language, how to play piano, how to play tennis, and how to speak and read Russian. Tommy very likely could have been a professional tennis player with my guidance but it's too late to start now, perhaps I can teach Amanda since she is younger, but after all three of us grandchildren receive our inheritance I doubt there will be any contact between us.
