Always love seeing your beautiful smiling face!

I cannot fathom this kindness! I'm still crying here at work. Luckily I'm known as a notable sook, so no eyebrows are being raised.

And that's not all! My wonderful Santa has also donated $20 in my name to Tū Manawa, a charity helping tamariki and rangatahi participate in sport! I'm cryin' like a babby ovah heah!

My upbringing made Christmas a joyless ritual, so with my own family I tried to make it as fun as possible. Post-divorce that air of obligation and sublimating actual feelings for the sake of togetherness is now the norm. I tend to hang out with the children or I just go to work. ☹️

I love seeing your beautiful face on my timeline. You seem to have a gorgeous, open demeanour. Get through the winter, and I hope your day is wonderful.

If.

Yes, an instant. My sister fell in the street and broke her jaw. Her already fragile health is now in jeopardy and it's approaching time for residential care. Hugs are good, however you may also have to find a way of coping when your loved one doesn't know they're in need and resent you for helping.
