I'm going to use examples that are of no relation to my rant, but will explain said rant.
You have Bill and Bob. They are brothers. They've grown up as close friends, until one day, when Bob decides for some reason or another that has never even been explained to Bill that he doesn't wish to call Bill his brother any longer. Along the way, Bob picks up Friend Brian. Brian and Bob become fast friends, and Bob posts on Brian's facebook page all the time things about brothers, even though Bob has a perfectly good brother named Bill that he ignores, and Brian is not really his brother. Bill knows this, and it annoys him greatly and hurts his feelings, especially since he does not understand why Bob quit talking to him to begin with, and he doesn't understand why he wasn't good enough to be the brother/friend he thought he always was.
If you have family, don't replace them with others...that's just not cool. Add more family members, fine, but don't subtract them so they can be replaced. They are *not* replaceable. If you have replaced them, don't try to put them back....I doubt they want to be put back. I wouldn't want to be.
Off my soapbox.....
And just for photo's sake....here you go:
Happy Hump Day!
