Would like to talk to you and see you. =div>Dear Mattie: Just wondering why it is so difficult to get in=touch with you? Are your O.K.? Are you aroun= for the next two weeks? I am going away to Mystique on Dec. 19th to Jan. 1st. I will be =n New York for a few days in January and then L.A. for most of that month.= I am renovating my apartment and hopefully I can move back in Februa=y. Would love you to come see it. =/div> What are your holiday plans? I would like to see =ou before Christmas and/or take you shopping for a present. Please =ive me an idea what you want. I tried to reach you before the Thanksgiving weekend.40=8E Was trying to find out if you were going to East Hampton, as I sent you=invitations to screenings I thought you might like. This phone and email tag has been going on sin=e our birthdays in July and September. =/span> It has now been a few years since we have actually =een each other. S=nce I have turned 70 and you are an adult of 29, I do think the time has c=me to reconcile and have some sort of communication. We can go on f=r another five years with this pretend to try to communicate or just not.<=span> I have always tried to b= there for you. If that is meaningless to you, then=l have failed to express my love for you for 29 years. =div> I am concerned about you. I know nothing about yo=r life. I have no idea if you are OK or if I can help in anyway. Wha= is the direction you are going in? Do you have a sense of accomplishment =nd satisfaction? I find it irresponsible on my part not to know whe=e you are at. Is=your game plan to completely erased your aunt from you life forever? Family relationships are neve= easy. I firmly believe we have a responsibility to each other. &nbs=; EFTA_R1_01717117 EFTA02557811 I know this is not ea=y for you because you can not fully understand my relationship with my mot=er, father and brother. There was a very consious attitude, especial=y in upwardly mobile Jewish families in post-war America in the 1950's rig=t thru the turmole of today's gender polictics that the son or the brother=or the husband were more valued than the daughter. There is a very c=mplicated explanation I do not have to patience to put in an email at this=late hour....but would be very willing to explain to you. Suffice to know, that I have worked sinc= I was 16. I have spent my entire life trying to make something of myself =nd share a productive life with family and friends. I believe you have tha= same work ethic and drive. In today's day and economic climate, I believe it is even=harder for young people to survive, no less get ahead. I worry that=you will struggle for years and not reach a level of satisfaction. Maybe l=am underestimating you, as I know you are smart and a fighter. It would just break my heart=if you and I went thru the rest of our lives in this stubborn ridiculous a=ti-social state. You sh=uld not be deprived of a loving aunt because of a situation you had nothin= to do with. You don't have that big a family or support team to is=late yourself from me. I have been nothing by loving and supportive of you=since the day you were born. =span>l need you to seriously address this very sad situation betw=en us. We are both missing out on the wonderful aspects of each others liv=s. It's time to =ry to mend what went wrong and move ahead. You need to take a step forward=and meet me half way.
