I can feel your feelings as I sit here writing this, for sure. I hope the card and letter turn out to be a good thing....
I learned when I was 16 and loaned my older brother $60 I had earned at $1.25 per hour (minimum wage) after school. He went out and bought all kinds of food stuff that my Mom and I couldn't begin to even want. I blew my stack, ranting and raving to the point of embarassing myself. I resolved the experience in my mind later that week by noting that I can never again hold someone in contempt for how they use my gift. By giving it over to them, I abdicate my management imperative (control) over how they use my gift.
Of course I can resolve to never make that mistake again.
'course, 'ats jes' me....[:^)
