Ducky - You know's I thinks the worls of ya!

AD - I hope you did what I asked. Look in the mirror, and see the whole, amazing human being that you are. You did it. Most would have crumbled. You didn't. You raised your children, and they are wonderful. I've had the absolute luxury of speaking to them. They are smart, personable, and loving of you. I don't throw the word respect out very often.

101st division. Yep, a paratrooper. A Ranger.

I RESPECT you.

Enough said.

AD?

Where are you hon? Miss you.

Whether you believe it or not, you have a hell-of-a-lot going for you!!!. I want you to know that. Hon? Even I 'see' this.

You and Lombozo were um...(whether you both knew or not), working on your ol' friend Ducky.

Both of you were telling me that I'm a good person...in many ways.

I have known who I was for a long time - inside - and it took a wee bit for me to see it. That's what friends are for. I thankYOU both sooo much.

I'm not on a 'downer' tonight; FAR FROM IT. I want you BOTH to know. Very very happy today/tonite.

Damit!!! This is CHRISTMAS!!! I wasn't in much of a mood for it in the last while....but I wan't you to know...I'm sooooo very thankful. I honestly and truely am.

Let me tell you both something. You listening? ...

I am soooooo very thankful that my parents are back living in Ontario. My Mom...God bless her strong and loving heart, has had to take care of my Dad. As Lombozo would say: My dear Pop Pop. Well I have to tell you Lombozo, this man that I call my Dad, is 'my dear Pop Pop too'. He's my step-dad, who brought me up (with only love in his heart) from day 1.

Ma and I took him out to shop today. I doubt he'll remember what happened too much, because the dear soul has Alzheimers pretty bad. hmmmmm....so much to be thankful for. I had to 'blow on his soup' because it was so hot, and the dear heart would have burned his throat out.

I LOVE Christmas. I don't know how much time I have left with my Dad...but I'm treasuring EACH AND EVERY MOMENT right now.

We all have things in life that 'irks' us. Things that don't mean much sense at the time, but *sigh*, these things make us grow, learn, live and LOVE. In the best ways that we can.

I may not be happy with the way I look on the outside - I'm working on it though - and yet...my love for this life, my immediate family and my ATS family is very important.

We grow 'with each other'.

Thanks for listening. Love you.

~Ducky~

I've come to terms with my 'insides'.

It was bah humbug for me, this time last year.

Oct/06, was the last time I saw a 'viable/safe' place to live until Dec/06.

The place I had lived in before Oct/06 was the worst thing that God ever put breath in.

Slumlord.

I'm sooooo glad that I can take my 'wages' and put it all towards Christmas gifts.

Before that, I took every cent that I made, and it kept a stinkin 'flea-infested/mouse dying-in-front-of-us MOTEL roof over our heads. Last year, ALL the Christmas and Birthday monies that I received, went for nought. At Christmas time, we got the tree up in our new apartment, but there were NO gifts from me to anyone.

You don't know how much I spent 'just today' on presents. How happy I am to have a great apartment to live in. Never having to worry about how much I'm going to be sick from all the 'black mold' that my family had to breathe in, or the fact of how many furnitures/beds that were destroyed because of one landlord's negligence. Besides the point.

Bah humbug? I would have answered it in kind last year.

I'm very thankful for many things in my life right now.

"Walk a mile in my mocassins.

Love,

~Ducky~

God, I'm sooo depressed
