Your LDR jedi mind trick is great! So much of our experience is how we frame it to ourselves and that's a positive way to do it in your situation.

H got a hilarious gift at xmas that he was too distressed to really enjoy even though it was perfect for him: a green plastic pickle that yodels . I like the idea of a gift that gets everyone grinning and can't be taken in any wierd way. And you can take a yodelling pickle skiing with you .
