[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 396670, member: 4264"] THank you all so much for even more understanding, and sharing your own similar experiences. You guys always come through when a gal needs it most! I'm feeling better emotionally. My difficult child bro of all people infused my spirit. S/O came in while I was in the bedroom wrapping, said difficult child bro was here. I was just sending easy child over with secret santa gifts for my superintendent and her granddaughter and my bro asked what we were up to. He'd been grocery shopping, about $100 in strictly special treat type things for holidays. He asked me for a blank christmas card, threw in a gift card for the grocery store he meant to give our mother, and 2-$20 bills, signed the card Love Santa. Walked over with easy child and when asked by super who on earth did this, he said I don't know! Just delivering it and wasn't told but Merry Christmas and he came back. She called thinking it was me and I assured her it was someone who knew she was a good person and struggling and wanted to make her holidays a bit brighter. That difficult child bro of me has something warm in him. It's how he redeems himself when he can be so awful and break my heart. When he left I had a little cry for the bipolar signs he exhibits more as he gets older and is showing recently, then smiled with the realization that underneath that part of him I dont like or respect lurks a person who has a big heart at moments like this. He welled up a bit telling me her face was just overwhelmed. Now how can that not warm a person right up? I finished wrapping my gifts and then threw together some trays of goodies with easy child and had my other neighbor, a widow we've become good friends with, over for a holiday visit of tea and treats and just good company. Turned out she's alone tomorrow and we're doing our turkey dinner so she's going to join us and gave us warm hugs as she headed home and seemed happy when saying she'll be here on time for dinner tomorrow. I'm still ugh about my body. But I'm focusing on the great friends near me and the family who are coming tomorrow who choose to share our lives with us. That's the real joy for me each holiday anyhow so I've resolved to hate my body once again after boxing day and not a moment before. Having said that, stupid bladder is insane today. I'm glad I don't need to leave the house! [/QUOTE]
