Families that grew up grow apart I il strange in modern times how families can grow apart and be little more than well acquainted strangers when they do meet with nothing more in common nothing more to talk about alter the family gossip has been exchanged than their physical problems partial plates bursitis high blood pressure piles are Ihc people who slept two or three bed they were growing up fought bitterly had the same parents endured the same ups downs of the family fortune Weird In most of Canada today the old family unilhaspretlyvelldisntegralcd is who were brought up with grand parents legions of aunts and uncles too many sisters or and dozens of cousins are scattered into thousands of liny units with little or no con with the other old familiar cells except for the occasional phone call or Christmas card I his a little sad but it docsn I really destroy me The times they are a changin Our oncewarm oncelarge i neeclose families broke into fragments and we just had to accept it we did the pill deodorant and ring around thecollar commercial women lib and other great steps forward by mankind That what I thought In fact I I mind it Hut much Families can be a pain in the arm An older sister who still thinks you arc years old and need straight out A younger brother who docsn t realize that under those dull gray socks of yours is another dull grayclay That the way I thought But once in a while for some reason or no reason the whole family comes roaring out of the woodwork all at once and your phone Is so hot the wires are melting white Ma Bel sits back with a satiated leer almost post coital and you take out a third mortgage on the house In pay your telephone bill Families don I write any more They With the state of our mail vice it no wonder could send two Christmas cards in a row to Uncle Ed before you got the letter from Auntie Agnes mailed 13 months before telling you that dead or had run off a strip lease artist Thai s what happened to us recently My kid brother had been taken and rather ill We had a couple of conversations from his hospital room in Montreal He was to let me know of any change Total silence Alter a month of this I phoned my older sister and asked whether he was dead She I a clue Said he d Just vanished air enough I I going to phone Then my daughter began phoning from telling my wife her troubles with beating off the bachelors and telling me innocuous stuff like she was going to buy a snowmobile and would we take the kids while a weekend conference and asking me how to cope with students who threatened to shoot the principal if she kicked them out of class Each of these colls was returned almost nightly by my wire who had thought up more piercing questions and answers in the intervening hours And I had to to the grandboys find out what they wanted for Christmas and who had won Hie latest fight and such like Then came a call from my son collect as usual on the way home from South America When he arrive he know Grind grind Teeth Then a close relative jumped through the window of a fifth floor apartment and is pronounced D O A at the hospital I Ins spewed a frenzied round of long distance calls to police relatives her son Just got over Ihis intermingled with fre quent calls to great grandad telling him we be any weekend now a call from a brother- in law to ask if he could sleep our house on the back from a music festival arriving at a call from another law to ask if he could help about l he suicide and a dejected call from daughter to say her conference was washed nut I sec until Christmas Prodigal son phones now 100 miles from 11 eel broke unrepentant He now driving his mother be cause he a health food nut and won eat of the great meals she is busting to prepare Result she cooks one pork chop for with baked potato some squash and a bit broccoli with cheese she cats the saw dust and stuff he eats and I feel like a pig Kid brother calls from James Hay project l tell me he alive has had serious surgery and medicnlion but now feeling great He s two vears younger than 1 next July pension I his goes over big as can Sixteen phone calls for prodigal son from friends who seem
