United We Stand; Divided We Fall

[Angelia]

I realize I'm merely mortal but I have to weigh in here on the state of the Cullen family.  I've had to learn very recently that family is the most important institution.  Without which we are lost.  If anyone has been feeling lost lately its me.  I've lost 2 of the four of my family in less than a year and a half.  Both to the enemies of Cancer and emphysema.  My father and I are all that we have left as far as immediate family is concerned.  So its upsetting that the Cullens are tearing themselves apart, or so it seems.  Esme and Edward had a falling out.  I get that.  It was between them.  Siblings are angry because mom needed time away because she's upset.  I get that too.  Children, regardless of how old, mortal or immortal feel secure when the family is together to have this happen, I'm sure makes everyone seem insecure and unsure of the future.  I feel that way now.  I feel very insecure because my world as I knew it was ultimately destroyed.  I feel lost too.  However, instead of tearing into each other no matter how justified one feels toward the offender, you should be pulling together.  Esme will be back.  She loves you.  She truly does.  Carlisle loves you.  It will take time to heal the wounds but you need to stick together instead of amputating yourselves.  Love heals all.  Anger and blame are divisive.  They don't accomplish anything.  Forgiveness is what is needed right now.  Do you really want to be apart right now?  When you know that there are enemies that would love to take advantage?  I wouldn't want to see that.  United you stand, and you can defeat anything or anyone, and overcome all things.  Divided you fall.
