[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 557125"] I am so so so so so GLAD it all worked out. My difficult child is home for a bit and it's been freezing here. He works landscaping and he didn't bring any warm clothes home with him and since he usually only works in the summer, I don't think he has any cool weather work clothes.. I noticed he was wearing his usual old gym shorts and his now ragged "XX Landscape Co" tee with his casual, fleece lined flannel shirt over it. (he loves that flannel shirt - it's more fashion than function). I asked him if he would like me to pick up some warmer work clothes and he smiled and said yes PLEASE. I really dedicated myself to finding him some warm things that would wear well and tried to make sure they are things he would LIKE and even though it was costly and a PITA, it made me feel so good to do something MOTHERLY for him. I don't know how else to explain it. I got such joy out of two pairs of clearance work jeans and a couple of cheap long sleeved tees, warm socks and a work hoodie. His boss must have been thinking the same thing because he came home that day with brand new "XX landscape co" sweatshirt and 2 new long sleeved shirts. They want to be done being our kids long before we want to stop being their parents. Just that bit of normalcy - buying him some clothes like I did every year before it all went to Hades - meant so much to me. So, I know what you mean. {{{hugs}}} [/QUOTE]
