[QUOTE="Toomanytears, post: 744713, member: 22580"] Merry Christmas Eve to you all… Thank you for responding to me. Quiet day here yesterday. Woke up yesterday and decided to ask son in the late morning if he’d like to work on a project in the garage with me. He told me sisters boyfriend was in the garage also and that he was getting up and I could come down with them. He finally got moving at 4pm. I thought after the previous horrendous night we could actually make a happier memory… Just hopeful I guess. Girlfriend has been texting my husband continuously to fly in and spend Christmas with us because she is alone. She then went on to explain that she asked for an advance on her paycheck and received it and she could make the flight on her own. The answer was still no. Son showered, packed a backpack and was heading shopping with his sister. He took less items with him when he flew out this last time. I asked him if he was heading to girlfriend’s. He told me no. I also asked if girlfriend was flying in.. his look was priceless. No eye contact just a,” Why?” His Dad told him that she was not staying here so do not have her fly in... his response,”Ok.” Out the door he went. We are all so blessed and those blessings do not come without heartache. Just for today, my hope is that all of us find peace, kindness, understanding and above all strength to carry on and make a difference in the lives we touch. You have done this for me this year. I’m forever grateful. Merry Christmas friends. ((Hugs)) [/QUOTE]
