Might be a strange thing to ask as a birthday present but how about family counseling.Family counseling may help to promote better relationships and understanding within a family.
both my sister and i have told dad that we will never love her or what she did to our family and what she continues to do but we will try our hardest to respect the fact that he is married to her and she is a part of our lives.
ON topic: i asked for a camera...i've never had a camera of my own, its always been one that was on a phone or someone elses. i take pics of my reps and furbabies and yeah! but not holding my hopes to high coz my sister also wants one for her 21st which is 5wks after my bday.
