You're not nobody to everybody. I know it is easy to feel that way! I feel that way a lot, too.

But, you say you have a son. You don't say how old he is, but you are somebody to him, regardless. My dad and I have a rocky relationship. He irritates me with his stubornness and constant negativity, and I irritate him with not behaving the way he thinks I should. But you know, the day he's gone is going to be a horrible day. I only have one dad. I've already lost my mom so I know that is irriplacable. Recently he was in the hospital and all I could think all day was "please don't die."

I hope you feel better. And Happy Birthday! I think December and January are hard months for a birthday thanks to all the other things going on. But your birthday is important! I hope you can find something really fun to do that day. Give yourself a big treat.
