talk about coming down to earth with a bump

“And it is still true, no matter how old you are -- when you go out into the world, it is best to hold hands and stick together.”
Im gonna hafta go up to scotland pretty soon. Just had some pretty awful news. LOL just as I was coming through the door after 4 days of rest and relaxation BANG, back to stressville. Im not gonna go into details here because..well its really quite private and actually really very distressing and I don't know all the details currently but it does mean im going to have to make an unplanned trip to scotland to basically hang around a lot and feel useless cause i cant fix the situation and I cant improve the situation. I dont know when ill be going to scotland or when ill be coming back. obviously ill keep everyone updated as and when i have info myself. Sorry for the cryptic nature of the journal, but just wanted people to be aware if i sudden have radio silence for a week you know i haven't dropped down dead or anything im just stuck in the back end of nowhere at my parents house.
just gonna give a big ol' tanuki-hug, and hope you and your folks will weather whatever storm this is, gracefully.
Really sorry to hear that baby.
It's a big serious important bum?
Hope it can get better on it's own, since you can't 'fix' it.
Don't wana worry if it looked like you disappeared.
Hope all goes well. *hugs*
I'm so sorry to hear about the sudden demands on your time, sweety. That's one of my least favrit things because it happens so frequently to me! hehehe
However, I am sure that in the eyes of your family whom you are visiting, your being there will be far from useless and I'm sure that others will very much feel as though your presence helps to improve the situation. If it didn't, why then there would be no demand on your time! hehe. That's how all this icky 'sponsibility works, after all. ;3
If it helps you to feel better or to feel blessed with a purpose and less awkward, then try to view the situation (whatever it is? ) through the eyes of your fambly. What will it mean to them to have you with them during this time? Who among them will it mean the most to, and why will it mean so much? What will they see in their hearts when big sis is there to help carry the load?
I have drifted a fair amount apart from my family, we only talk or visit a few times per year and they all live far away. I know what it's like to feel estranged, to feel demanded and bullied around a bit by people who used to be a big part of my life but don't seem to contribute much in my direction any longer. To feel like I'm doing little more than completing a set or satisfying somebody else's nostalgia for how things used to be at unusual expense to my household. But I don't think you're as empathically far gone as all that yet. You just relate to people better than my dummyhead self does! xD
