St. Therese, send me blessings, as I miss my parents who died in 2018. They were
the only ones, who truly loved me. I have one older sibling, my sister, lives out west and
I am alone. My birthday, she tells me, want do you want, and I want a surprise. A little thing to open and she tells me, I don't know what to get you. I, even like a things from dollar store.
I want her to pick out, something special for me. She will send a gift card. I wish to open a
small gift. Said I am not eating candy, got candy. Have heart issues. Also, she also, tells me, a large bill they have to pay, prior to my birthday and usually same at Christmas. I feel hurt, as I go out of my way to get things nice for them on their birthdays. I feel I am a burden to them. Wish for blessings me.
