CC you always deliver. "Changing batteries" always brings me to gales of tears - probably because I connect too much with it.

My son always comes to visit in late spring. This year he was going on a UK tour with my brother, sister and her grown daughter. I told him it was alright with me and it was. Of course I missed him badly. I too, have white hair and am lonely (apart from my BYC friends). The little robot displays so much humanity, it touches my heart. But,
it is the look on the mother's face when she sees the note that says her son isn't coming this year, that starts the flood. I know that feeling so well and at 68, well you kno,. how many more chances will I have?

Thanks .........maybe u should send him a copy ? sometimes words aren't needed to send a message ........jus saying :)
 
I thought about it often CC but, my mom was champion at laying guilt on people. She always got her way. I know if I send it to him, it's because I want him to feel guilty but, it ends up as pity not love. My mom kept me in line with the guilt thing ie "if your father shovels the snow, he could get a heart attack and die, and then we'll lose the house and have no where to live." This is pretty heavy stuff for a young kid. Both parents are gone but, I still feel I MUST shovel snow to keep someone else from dying.

My sister and brother are totally guilt proof. It's been made very clear to me that I am the dispensable one. The world will keep on turning. I know this is ridiculous to feel this way into old age but, when I work it out in my mind, I am the needy one.

PS I actually love shoveling snow- if there isn't any pressure to be done fast. I can't take heat but, like a chicken am better able to handle cold.

Bless your heart Diva....I hope he comes to see you more often....I went thru this with my Momma (gone now 4yrs) when my brother and 1 sister didn't have the time to be there with her most of her life....you are not needy, you just love your son.....
 
I shudda sent the boy your way after all Diva.
I am becoming an introvert. Once the boy leaves for school I think the dogs and I can give up people.
Byc is safe and I don't have to brush my hair.
