We have just spent our second Christmas with our Big and Lil S. They got so excited about it that at one point their brains seized and they went down for a 3 hour midday nap.
In the run up to Christmas, Big S was doing some processing. When she was younger some dramatic and unwelcome events happened at Christmas. From time to time she would sidle up to one of us and start talking about her foster mums and her birth mother. Then one morning I came down and she handed me a small envelope. In it was a card and this is what the card said:

Happy New Year…are you freezing your arse off?? xx
Wow, Moobs. This is amazing.
That is extremely lovely – so happy for all of you!
Oh. My heart. That’s the stuff.
