I love this. Made me smile, made me giggle, made me laugh. I like Rhi, too. Really nice story. I needed cheering up today, and this was just perfect. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, I'm so happy I was able to cheer you up a bit. I could use that too, it's getting on towards a year since I lost mum.

Ianto has a great family, especially his sister. They made a horrible Christmas much better. So did Jack, even though he's such an embarrassment!

Hope things get easier for you over time. You never stop missing people, I think, but it does get better.

Ianto does seem pretty fortunate to have Rhi. A lot of stories make her a baddy, but I think she and Johnny really care for Ianto. Wish I had someone like them in my life. I spend ALL my holidays alone, with no special dinner or anything. Yeah, did I mention I needed cheering up today? :)

There's no hope for Jack, I think. Like JB, they both can be so over-the-top, but that's kind of why we love them. Although I do love Ianto more. Really, I do. LOL Saw some great pictures of him in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof today. Oy!

Oooooh yummy! GDL is just awesome and gorgeous! I love Jack and JB, but Ianto is always the one I identify with the most.

Rhi is a bit rough and ready, Johnny even more so,. but I think they have good hearts. It's just that Ianto and Rhi don't have a lot in common anymore and they find it difficult to bridge the gap between them.

It sucks to be alone on holidays. I did make myself a Christmas dinner, but it was weird to be alone. Guess I'll get used to it. I got through mum's birthday okay, next will be the anniversary of her going into hospital (15th) then my birthday, which will be my second alone, then the anniversary of mum's passing (20th).

Sending hugs and hoping things will get cheerier for you *HUGS*

It's really hard being alone at first, but you kind of get used to it. At least I have. It's never really easy, though. I try not to focus on dates when bad stuff happened, but more on happy events. I don't remember exactly when my mom or my ex-husband died, but I remember when she was here for a visit, or when Tom and I went camping in Acadia National Park in Maine. Everybody deals with loss differently. I've had way to much sad in my life, so I prefer to delete it, thank you Sherlock Holmes. :)

I suppose I'm sorting of counting days to get through this first year. After that, I hope things might get a bit easier. I like certain aspects of being alone though, I can do what I want when I want, without having to think of anyone else. After having to put mum first for so long, it's a weight of my shoulders. I do think a lot about the better times though.

Thank you =)
