ORIGINAL: LinnaeaBorealis I admit it I never got the email with the video of Thing 1, but I did get replies from people who must have hit reply all, so I think I was supposed to get it. I admit that I just tried sending it again and got a bounce back that said the file is too big or recipient's mailbox is full. (maybe you can see it on my computer sometime?) www.4shared.com you can upload videos securely and send a link to whomever you want to see it...(that's what I had to do with a bunch of my daughter's martial arts competition videos last week! LOL) I admit that I love that BSB shared this with me! *hugs and thank you* I admit that I just talked to the kids' dad and ended up bursting in tears because today is the alms-giving ceremony, where the Buddhist monks come for chants and other various things. I admit that I hold it together pretty well until I talk to him, as he is being very strong (the oldest son, and culturally has certain responsibilities to maintain himself for the family). I admit that I am strong, too, but for whatever reason, I hear him and I fall to pieces, and he ends up consoling me. (which makes me feel like a giant loser) I admit that my in-laws heard me crying on the phone and they put one of my teenage nephews on and he said, "Nandy (aunty), are you ok? We promise we are taking good care of Mami (uncle) for the kids. You'll be ok, Nandy... we miss our grandfather, too... he loved you, you know that, right?" I admit that made me cry more until he started telling me (in Sinhalese), "You'll be ok, you're my aunty... we love you." I admit that Thing 1 came in and held me while I cried all over his shirt and he patted my hair and kissed me. I admit that I have the best kids and extended family ever.
