[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 290887, member: 84"] This is why I remian a pessamist. lol Keeps me from being shattered so often. I am disappointed. I would've truly loved and enjoyed having a relationship with K and the grands that I share with her sibs, I'd have enjoyed even more had she grown closer with her sibs as well. But I'm not crushed. I am very sad the grands have to endure such a life as that. They don't deserve it. I would've sent toys for their bdays (funny I usually do the same as your Mom) but I just really haven't had time to shop. Certified letter I know the kids will see when K gets it.....even if she tries to keep the walmart card for herself they'll know Nana did send it, did not forget them, and does love them. Then if she cheats them out of it, it will rest on her shoulders. I just opened another email. Seems she's growing impatient. Sigh. Wonder how she'd react if I told her I'd sent it once and I wasn't sending it again. *insert evil laugh* But I won't do that. It was only 30 bucks the first time......will be 30 bucks again. And this will be the last time for their bdays. Period. Exactly what I spent on the other grands. I'd do the savings account.........except my Mom did that. And I know her heart was in the right place and all..........but I watched my kids be hurt each birthday and holiday. They didn't want an expensive gift, they just wanted a symbol she had thought enough to look for something they'd might like. No. I'll still send something. Might not be what their mother has in mind, but it will be something. I recall my own childhood all too well. Sometimes those people that bring bright spots into a child's life can make a world of difference without even trying. My grandma did it for me, I can at least try to do it for them. I've got to try to get those birthday cards into the mail tomorrow before I leave for Cleveland. [/QUOTE]
