Contact from the dark side.

She has the flu. My heart pumps Robitussin. Sorry Irish. I am straight out of empathy tonight. The cold makes me cranky and it's 13 here with wind chill feels like it's 2 degrees. I have been cold all day, as my workplace isn't warm and gets worse after the sun goes down. I am not in a happy place, so that is your context for this post


You did very well to point out her mother isn't in crisis. Notice she had no response to that one. Perhaps she's afraid to contact the girls. Who knows.

You on the other hand are doing great!!! I love that you're working with the homeless in your area. My boss and I ran a photo studio for women and children at a local shelter so they could have family photos. It was crazy - 28 families in 90 minutes! Some of the kids were a real challenge and someone dressed as Santa so we got a lot of photos. The participants were so thrilled. The kids were adorable. I lost my heart to a few of them. It never ceases to surprise me how much more I get from volunteer work than I'm sure I ever give. Service is so very important.

I also loved what you had to say about family. I don't know when the last time was that I felt like a family with exh -- it was long before BD, that much I do know. For me, family is my pets, my son and my friends as well as parents and cousins. It transcends blood and is made up of a tightly knit group who supports and honors each other.

My friend, you have come so far. I'm terribly proud of you! xoxoxoxo
Much love and all the best for 2018. Serenity NOW ! hahhahhaha! xoxoxo
