    Hello Brenda,

    It seems January is a bittersweet month for you, indeed!
    My daughter was born on January 10th and I know what you mean by the cold and short days - they seem to drain your happiness sometimes, don't they? Nice, then, that we can have some positive things to take from the month and they are the things we should cling to.

    Well done,

    Ben

      Thank you Ben, my daughters birthday is the 12th, so your and mine are pretty darn close, days wise that is. I do cling to those positives when I am going through the winter doldrums. I am glad you liked it.

    Brenda, this has everything in it happiness, sadness and somewhat anger. I guess previously you would have liked to have skipped January but now things are different.

    1: Here you tell it how it is bitterly cold, short winter days that can leave us with the winter blues even after the best Christmas.
    2: Here we have reasons that January is much more than winter blues for you because you lost your step father and if that was imcomphrehendable years later your precious daughter walks out.
    3: Now here it is bittersweet the birth of your grandson doesn't only bring a new life but starts a new relationship with your daughter.

    This is really emotional Brenda.
    All the best, Em

      Em, thank you so much. Yeah, sometimes life is quite the emotional Rollercoaster. Something I know you know all to well. Things are good now, thankfully! It was some bleak cold days for a long time. Hugs sweet friend!

    Thank you so much. It had been very much an emotional rollercoaster. Thankfully this all has past and I look forward to the future. I appreciate your in-sight.
