Selfless

I'm feeling a little bummed about the holiday... for the first time in nine years, I won't be spending it with M. :(

It's a complicated story... basically, M had not been in contact with most of his family for 13 years or so (for very valid reasons), but got back in touch with them during the last year. Of course, they want him to join them for Thanksgiving. He hasn't spent any holidays with them for years, and seeing as his grandmother is quite old, it really is the best thing for him to do.

Although I understand why he wants to spend the holiday with them (and I think it will be good for him), I'm still sad. I know it's not about me, but I can't help feeling like now that his "real family" is back in the picture, our little family (one that includes Beebs & her relatives) isn't as important. Sigh. This is one of those time when I just have to suck it up and be selfless... definitely not one of my strong points.
