So as not to forget...
My Dad's Christmas card to me, along with a check for quite a bit of money, did little to promote holiday cheer.

Maggie's mom is in the
hospital. Maggie is with
her. She will pass away
soon. Two moms this year.
See you soon.
Dad
Was this meant to be a Christmas card, or just an excuse to send me money? Lately when I see my father (on those rare occasions) he tends to give me large sums of money. It's always quite awkward. After a lunch consisting of strained conversation we hug goodbye and he reaches into his pocket to pull out some money before getting in his car to leave. I've reached the conclusion that he's coming to terms with the fact that I'm now fully grown, and his chance to help raise me has passed, causing him to feel guilty. Perhaps giving me money is his way of apologizing, or an attempt at showing me he really does care about me? I don't know. However, when I opened his card last month I was hoping for something I bit more sentimental.
