I'm so tickled to read that your d's picture was in the paper. I think you did the right thing in purchasing two copies and giving one to your h. It was a very nice gesture and I do hope that somewhere in that cold heart of his, he'll remember the kind gesture and will do something nice for you one day soon. It showed him that no matter what he's done, you were still being kind to him. That says a lot about you.
Sounds like your son's party is coming together. I think I would mention your family coming closer to the time. You never know what might happen between now and then. Just remember, the day is about your son and if your mother wants to have a nice chat w/your h, she'll know how to handle it and when to do it. LOL!
Give me some clues on what a glazing ball is and I'll ask around in my neck of the woods about it.
Take care of yourself and try to get some rest this weekend.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
