StillADD, that's wonderful, I'm so happy for you. They're gonna remember that too, your kids, your grandkids, all of them. You're making them come alive like a Christmas tree lit from top to bottom. That is a dream come true.
My family is my family and I finally accepted that, I went home and spent a few days with them and while I can't stay long for my own sake I enjoyed their company, let myself enjoy their company and showed them respect, I didn't take out my phone and start texting all the time, I asked them about them. My cousin grabbed me in a bearhug and lifted me up in the kitchen and said how much he missed me. Heck, even my brother, who I posted about on here, talked to me with others and then one on one for a pretty long time throughout the day and when we parted ways I pulled him into a hug and he looked happy and felt happy, I could tell, and so was I. It doesn't make everything right again, it can't but... it's a start, maybe.
Kathy1978, sounds like you had a great holiday yourself, too. Kids are great, aren't they? They're so full of life.
