in the middle of all the stress, a nice little blessing from ss

I just have to throw in a positive note on behalf of ss16. Today he was out helping dh cleaning and sorting garage and shed things. I came out to see the progress and noticed dh was sitting on a log and not working. I said I was happy that he was resting (he had chemo this week) and ss16 pitching in so willingly. Ss16 turned and said he'd help out with anything we need to get us moved and I said well if you work hard I'll definately want to buy you a game or something and he said he'd do it without bribes or deals or gifts. I just stood there looking at dh and dh was smiling. Later I asked dh why ss16 was all of a sudden being so different and he said he'd chosen to be that way so his dad can get well this year b/c he wants his dad around for 30 more years! I was so touched by this and dh was so happy. It just feels like it's all worth it when your skid pulls his head out of his ass and grows up a bit Smile It's not often that we come on this site and brag but I am today b/c my heart is really happy. This does not mean I am not stressed from work and moving and dh having cancer, but in the middle of all that stress there was this nice little blessing. Just wanted to share Blum 3

Give that boy a big hug!!!! It is stories like this that renew our faith in our younger generation. The boy has a good heart and this world needs more like him. Best wishes for your DH's recovery.

I've always thought good teenagers exist. But I also thought the stepfamily situation brings out the worst in them. And for your SS to rise above all that is even more impressive. I'm inspired. Thanks for sharing this .

Hodgkins Lymphoma and it is scary and he is very up and down sick. Sad For some reason I thought he'd keep working but he's slowly not able to work as much, so now I am picking up the slack which is very stressful. Our exs don't pay child support regularily so it can be hard and at times I am paying this bill this time and that bill next month. Oh well, nothing we can do but keep on keeping on :/
