Missing you (slrpnk.net)

It's been a few years and I still miss you. I just want you to know I picked up your present for me and it's wrapped and under the tree. You always made sure I got chocolate covered cherries.

I'm not talking to Mom and I think you can understand why. I still blame her, and I can't see myself ever having a healthy relationship with her. I'm in therapy. It helps.

I've gotten much closer with your sisters. They're great and are filling the family void. We have weekly stitch and bitches.

The pup is also doing fine. He's a grumpy old man dog.

I have no words but sending you a big hug. I hope the pain fades but the memories last forever.

Hey sib! Big sister here. I'm really glad you posted, I know he'll love your update (particularly on the pup haha). You're doing so great being in therapy, you really are worth all the work you do there. Not speaking to mom is totally understandable, biology doesn't make a healthy relationship... sometimes we need to do the safe thing. I'm glad things are going well with the aunts, weekly stitches and bitches sounds like a really fun way to bond with them.

I'm thinking of you this Christmas and you've got me holding your hand if you need it ❤️

I miss you too... I am glad you are doing better. Therapy is the best. I wish more people would take it.

As to your relationship with mom I can only say the time is the best healer. You do not have to rush it.

Say hello to my sisters! And to the old dog as well. I miss him too!

I love you! You mean everything to me...
