Re: My favorite Christmas present...

[Guest guest]

Hi Donelle,

I am so curious about your present, since I am just a kid at heart. Please

share.

By the way, I am glad you didn't have to have any confrontations with the

" wifey " . That had to have been tough, holding your tongue.

Hi everyone...

Attaching a photo of my favorite Christmas present, which was of course from

Glenn. This is not the norm for Glenn...he always gets me nice presents,

but usually something I need....I cried when I opened this...it's something

I'll always cherish from him.

The visit from Glenn's children and wife-y went well...yes, really!! I was

comfortable b/c I was on my turf and in control. I think she was totally

uncomfortable. I think she was just plain curious about me and maybe about

where Glenn was living. They all chit-chatted, but nothing serious and nothing

to do with reality. I felt like I was in the twilight zone... it was totally

surreal. They never asked Glenn how he felt...not once in 3 hours. Wife-y

has not seen Glenn for 2.5 yrs., he's lost over 100 lbs. and he had to ask

her " Do I look different? " ...her response, " Yeah, you're suppose to look

younger than me? " " What the h..l kind of answer is that??

Dinner was good...she brought fresh sliced turkey, stuffing and gravy. I

made mashed potatoes, corn and pumpkin pies. Was yummy!!

Get this...when they were getting ready to leave, they were almost out the

door... I wanted to scream!!! I was so furious!!! I counted to ten...and

finally said, " Don't you guys think you should hug your Dad goodbye? " No

hugs, but they did come back to his chair and say " Bye Dad " ....???????????

Well, I've done all I can do and all I'm gonna do!!!

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and celebrated with lots of family,

friends and love, making memories to always treasure!!

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

am so happy that things went well for you.

ever have this kind of love!!!

Thank You God for making Donelle and Glen's Christmas so nice!!!!

Well certainly glad that the visit went well. Maybe they were so shocked by

his appearance they just couldn't talk about it or sorta in denial about

it, if I don't talk about it isn't true sort of thing. I can't believe that

kids didn't think to say good by to their dad much less hug him. That is so

sad.

I feel for you. As Doug said being a caregiver is hardest job he's ever had.

And he is absolutely right about that. You definitely should be home with

him for however long it takes. I know the reality of it is there are bills

to pay. As he said about working it out.. Hope it does so you can stay with

him. Keeping you both in my prayers as always, Hugs Jolene

Glad everything went reasonably well. Glenn's gift was his way of telling ou

what you already should know YOU dear are #1 in his heart.

Give that big mush a hug and kiss from me
