So many threads about toxic relationships, bastard controlling & abusive partners, thoughtlessness. So I thought it might be a good idea to have one where we can say nice things about people, those who've gone out of their way to do good things for us.
I'll start it off with my sister (Hi if you read this thread). I'm single, been out of work for ages & rapidly running out of money, and been getting very depressed about the job situation. My DSis is a single mother with 1 young & 1 adult DS at home, coping with a part time job while recovering from severe depression brought on by her bastard ExH.
How they celebrate Xmas & how I like to are a little different, however she's opened her home to me this year even though that makes it an extra one to cater for when money is tight & they don't really have the room for an extra large adult (especially as a 3rd DS is home for the holidays). She's making sure there's plenty of food that I like, and though she knows I can't afford any gifts for her & her DSs this year I know she's bought me some. She's gone out of her way to let me feel involved. My much beloved ancient Godmother had to go into hospital on Friday, and my lovely DSis has rearranged Xmas dinner so I can visit the Godmother in the hospital which is a fair drive away, and still eat with them.
Over the last few months she's always been there to calm my nerves before an interview, or just let me ramble on for ages when I'm getting really depressed & helped me get out of that awful pit of despondency.
In this season of goodwill, I'd like to say how much this has been appreciated - I know we have our spats but I don't know what I'd do without her.
So lets here it from a few more of you who have people in their lives who make all the difference in the RIGHT way!
