@denise96, Wow, hang on to that visiting nurse. She sounds like an angel. It's unfortunate that everyone hasn't had the time, resources, or general caring nature that we look for when we need it the most.
I'm glad that your family was able to gather and spend some quality time together. I had a couple of pre-holiday celebrations with family, and a quiet day at home on Christmas with my husband and one step-son. It was a much enjoyed, thanks.
