Spent 2 hours on the phone today with a relative, and she just got some good news.

Her SS Disability was just approved. As an indication of what rough shape she is in, it only took her two months to get approved.

I talked her through some health insurance issues.

I'm slowly broaching a discussion with her...both my wife and I want her to come and live with us.

I'm trying not to put any pressure on her to do so...so I'm taking it slow.

I'm on top of the world for her good news.

We have been close for a long time, and I think we would have an even stronger relationship if we took her in to live here.

She's a great person...smart as hell and funny. I hope we can work something out.

1. You are a good person.

[LuckyCharms]

4. Thanks, murielm99...

But not everyone would agree with you!

2. How kind you are, Lucky Charms!

Wish more people were like you!

5. Thanks, HeartsCanHope.

3. I am glad for her. That is so kind of you; not many people are willing to open their home

to a relative. Maybe start with a suggestion for an extended visit with you?

6. Thanks Lois, and that's a good idea.

She's not my sister, but she might as well be.

We always "clicked".

Spent as lot of time together when we were younger. She's only 10 years younger than me.

7. Good Luck. I hope she agrees. I know what you mean: I have a cousin who is more sister

to me than my own sister.
