I was home alone today. Lady came to the door and said her report said there were two seniors living in the house. She left two cartons on the porch. She said they were our senior boxes for Dec. The boxes contained raisins, juice boxes, crackers, etc. Is this usual? We’ve never gone to the Senior Center or signed up for anything.

Just found out from dd age 56 that she had a mammogram followed by an ultrasound, had to see her dr right after for a follow up and she is to have a biopsy (which hasn't been booked yet) asap. I know others here have gone through similar. Her youngest son age 16 has a small red spot on his cheek and he has had an ultrasound, then an MRI and I believe is to have a biopsy some time but it isn't booked yet. I would appreciate prayers for both of them. It never rains...

Finished cleaning out Mom's room at the nursing home. Hard to believe that both parents died within one month. I'm kind of numb. I'm glad they both passed quickly and peacefully. thank you for the condolences.

Gershun: You're a very pleasant person. Sorry that your siblings are all mean spirited. God bless your mother for being a saint. I know what you mean about Christmas as a lot of my DH's siblings are self serving; there were many a holiday that I sat there with no gift to me while they all showered each other with presents.

Llama, pretty much every one of my siblings are mean spirited. I don't know where it comes from cause my mom who brought us up on her own was a saint.

I don't think I'm mean spirited at all. Sometimes I wonder if maybe the stork brought me and maybe I'm not related to them at all.

I try to not hold grudges but it isn't easy sometimes I'll tell ya.

Once again I'm having the yearly debate about Christmas and whether I'm willing to spend it in their company. Two siblings have already bowed out of the get-together so now I'm wondering if I should try to hold up what's left of the fort by making an appearance. I don't know. It's hard to do the right thing sometimes especially when you aren't even sure what that is.

Spent the day visiting my in-laws giving away stuff. Three of my much younger BIL’s are buying houses. I gave them a lot of household stuff-furniture, linens, etc. More cleaning tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure I posted on the "Is it wrong to hope someone dies?" thread, I certainly questioned the life my mother was "living".

Yes there are many posts (too many) from people who seem to be caught up in dysfunctional family dynamics and are caring for abusers, the weird thing there is that often those are the people having great difficulty dealing with their loss.

And I do honestly feel sorrow for every death and loss; for the wasted lives, for the people who are so damaged they have rejected and damaged every opportunity to accept love and comfort from those closest to them.

Gershun,
Sorry for the loss of your dear cat. Hope you find peace and contentment with the memories of the little one. Animals are part of the family and we treasure them and love them. Sending you a big hug.

I feel that I need to clarify my comment about not feeling sorry when someone dies. I don't mean anyone and everyone, I mean only those whose deaths bring relief to themselves and others. Not everyone who dies is a good person or that it is a good thing for someone to continue living.. If you need reminders, go read the thread "Is it wrong to hope someone dies?" , or the thread about narcissistic and abusive mothers. Don't forget criminals, they do die too.

Some of you sound as if you're sorry when anyone dies and that it is a loss. That's not how I feel.

Llama, I thought it was callous of my sister too but then I thought of the source. This sister is a bitch at the best of times. 😏

You are always nice Llama.

ITTR: Thank you. I believe that she did appreciate it. Now mind you, I have been dealing with a chronic condition since June, but I'd had a good Thanksgiving day. I don't do anything to feel special, though.
