Dear Iago,
Thank you so much for your holiday memories and experiences. It sounds so warm and filled with the kind of family love that we all long for. What a huge clan you have! There must have been many tears of laughter and joy. And the locale sounds like Paradise. It must be be a little disorienting to come back to 'normal' life once again.In America, we don't have that kind of extended family situation at all, although everyone talks about wanting it. Everyone is just too busy, and it's now that the lack of a loving community is being acutely felt. It's difficult to go through a depression or other health issue and to feel alone and isolated. Thankfully, I have good friends, husband, and social support system, but I've become estranged from most of my relatives. It seems that many of them have had depression, but whether due to biology or life circumstance, or both, who can say? I yearn for that special enfolding love that only family can provide.
Bless this internet for providing the means to locate our 'tribe', and for you, dear tribe member. BarbaraCat
