Wow.... That was.... AWESOME!!!!

EW, I'm so glad that your niece does not appear to take after her father. That was such a wonderful thing for her to do. FYI, if you ever need to rant or anything, feel free to PM or email me. Your wounds sound very similar to some that my mother has to deal with. She has diabetic neuropathy and has been at risk of losing a foot for nearly ten years, so far though she's only lost one bone and a toe. So I'm not easily squicked by such things (though, I really don't need pictures).

Aaaaw that's so sweet!!

what a considerate niece you have EW!

EW, I'm so happy for you! It sounds like you have a wonderful family! I'm glad she was able to bring you some cheer when you were feeling so down.

EW, sorry to hear you have not been well recently and it goes to show and it once again confirms to me that the the Spirit of Christmas can be found when you least expect it.

First of all, EW, I'm sorry for the troubles you have been having! And then, WOW! That was so nice of her! She deserves a hug!

Your niece sounds like such a very sweet, thoughtful person!!! And what a lovely thing for her to do! Maybe this is a sign that things will start improving for you from now on ....

Wow, what a wonderful surprise! How thoughtful of her.

EW ... first of all, I'm so sorry to hear about the troubles you're having with your health, and that you're still struggling as regards to your dear Dad's estate! I can completely understand you, since, as you know, I have two brothers, together with their wives, who have been showing such an attitude for, let's say, forever, but whose attitude has worsened ever since my Mum passed away, and my Dad has almost done the same last year ... you know ... since he's the only one left ... aaahh ... babies, like you're saying, but the ones who cause a lot of unnecessary troubles and headaches, apart from the everyday problems everybody surely has! Please feel free to vent your rant my way, also! You have my email address! As to your niece ... she's such a darling and an angel! It's rare to find someone like that, nowadays, and I can realise how much a surprise it should have been for you, since her Dad shows a completely, different attitude! I wish I could help in bringing you only a part of that happiness you need during the festive season! I wish to thank her myself for such a thought! Praying for your full recovery ....

EW - I hope your wounds have healed and you are feeling better. It can't be easy to deal with. Your niece sounds like a winner. She takes more after you than your brother.

EW, I hope things get better for your legs and feet. My step mom had something like that going on with her last year. Glad your niece was able to get your tree up and surprise you with it. It seems like she cares a lot.

EW, that was such a sweet story. I hope that your wounds heal quickly and that you feel better soon.

gatchgirl: Springie drew that for me! I wrote a fic where Jason needs glasses and I had a hard time picturing it, so I asked for her help. She does such nice work!

she does wonderful work... I have one of her first Gatch drawings here at my house.
