In my family, we did not trust each other as many people know it.  Oh, we were all expected to remain loyal to the family, but we all had our own agendas, our own secret plans to get ahead.  I never knew what it was like to truly trust a member of my family in the way others do.  It took me much longer than it should have to trust Dorothy because of that.  But she was patient with me and waited for me to come to the conclusion that I could.
