(My mother was at best bipolar and since that disease was not recognized or treated when I was a child, she was at time frankly psychotic. So be proud you are strong neough to survice their hot and cold spells. And always remember that your Dad - is a Dad who didn't have to be your Dad, he chose to be. So there's got to be something really special there. Happy Holidays, darlin', and anytime you need a sounding board to vent, pull out my addy and hit me off the loop.gail roughton brananhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258347523766173312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193497799363588349.post-52877193329247938072011-11-19T12:29:34.054-08:002011-11-19T12:29:34.054-08:00Thank you Christy, I'll be sure to pass along ...Thank you Christy, I'll be sure to pass along your kind words.

My heart goes out to your friend and her family. It sounds like she has a kind, considerate friend in you. My mother died a week before Christmas in 1999. It took a few years of grieving to get to the point where we could joke and tell stories about her and laugh instead of cry. Your friend will get there one day, too. Please let her know that others have her in their thoughts and prayers.<br /><br />Christy McKee Christy McKeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06693039408187301779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193497799363588349.post-88812182321732797132011-11-19T11:11:59.439-08:002011-11-19T11:11:59.439-08:00Thank you for your kind words.

The older I get the more I appreciate my family and friends, those who are present and those who aren't, and especially my parents. I'll keep your friend in my thoughts this holiday season.
