Earlier this year my mum died suddenly and my relationship broke down soon after - I've had quite a tough time. My daughter has been so kind.
This morning I got a call that my father had gone into A&E overnight so of course I needed to get there ASAP and find out what was happening - I was very shaken as he's been in good health generally (but he is late 80s). I contacted XH to ask him to keep my DC today as I didn't know how the day might pan out. As soon as my DD (16) woke up she rang me to check I was okay and called me later in the day to find out how her Grandpa was and how I was fairing (I'm optimistic that he won't be in hospital too long). This evening she offered not to go out with her friends so she could keep me company.
Just wanted to share since we talk so much about the tough stuff, its nice just to be reminded of what good hearted human beings they are too.
