Tough day....my heart aches

[Alphalion75]

For my son. He is going through a very rough time financially. He couldn't afford any Christmas gifts. I could care less if he gave me anything...but my heart aches for him. I am trying to make his Christmas enjoyable as I can.

Giving love is always affordable. Make sure you give him his share.

Just let him know we all go through rough times and that to you.... he is what matters most to you, not his finances.

Thanks.....giving is such a great feeling....I told him that being here with me is the best gift He could ever give me.

Tough financial times come and go. Your love for him lasts forever. That’s the best gift you can give him.

Gifts fade but time sharered with family lasts forever. Make it a great memory by sharing the day with him.

I always told my children that children are our most valuable possession(s)

Hug him hard as you can and don’t let go!

As a son who was in this very situation at one time in my life my father hugged me and told me how much he loved me and that things will turn around for the better. Sounds strange but it’s still one of my most cherished memories of Christmas. Hug him and tell him how much he means to you. You guys are in my thoughts and hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.

Tough times don't last, tough people do!

The pope's message today is about unbridled greed. The best things in life are free. Well, not free, but investments in relationships that always come back with a great return. A walk and good conversation on Christmas mornings mean more to me that anything. It's all about the love between father and son

'My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple:loving others. "---- Mr. Bob Hope. Can always pen a heart felt message or give certificates of tasks you can do for others. Warmest wishes to your family.

“And the greatest of these is love”. Wise men learn a lot in tough times. Help hi learn these truths. Love is priceless.

There is nothing greater than the gift of love. I lost my father when I was twenty years old. I would gladly give back every gift I ever received if I could just hug him one more time! Make the most of your time together. It is life’s most precious commodity!

Love him and tell him to look to the future. My son lost everything in the 2008 recession.
He rebounded and now is making much more than I ever did and loves what he is doing.
Life has its' ups and downs but with your support he can turn it around. Tell him good luck.

Not to hijack your thread, but my sister had a did die this AM on the way to emergency vet. Just got the puppy two weeks ago and started getting seizures last week. Ugh... can’t imagine dealing with that on Christmas morning.

Love your son, not that anyone has to tell you. Both of you will get through this.

BABY. BOOMERS.

First, they unravel our manufacturing base, ring up a 20 Trillion dollar deficit, provide FOR PROFIT Universities and PRIVITIZED Prisons. Then, they KNOWINGLY AND PURPOSEFULLY caused a recession.

I feel your sons pain.

Pick him up Dave Ramsey's total money makeover. Then, when he's outrageously wealthy he can repay you.

Alpha introduce your boy to the big man if has no relationship. God will willingly take on his grief. All he has to do is ask. My children mean the world to me also and I understand 100%. May God bring comfort to your son.

Don't know his situation but agree here with Alphabets, it's one thing to have a thin Christmas but he didn't go into hock to buy a lot of stuff he couldn't afford from what I gather so that's a positive thing. We don't do much for Christmas other than have a big meal; it's all about getting together. I wish you and your son well.

 

[Alphalion75]

Thanks all for your kind thoughts and support.....WE ARE!

Couldn't agree more. Some have plenty of money and don't spend it on useless gifts. Build your family tree and legacy, not your collection of trinkets.

I always liked the line at the end of the movie 'It's a Wonderful Life' when George Bailey found the book on the table after he and his daughter heard the bell ring which read," No man is a failure who has friends".
