My family always makes a huge deal out of Christmas.

Being a caretaker is, and never will be, an easy job; in fact, it is that hardest job in the world and many times a thankless job. You have to be the pillar of strength even when you feel like you are crumbling to pieces inside.

My advice: Take a second out of the day today and be thankful for your family.

I am always floating around trying to tend to everyone and be free while at the same time enjoying some space.

Family is a unique gift that needs to be appreciated and treasured, even when they're driving you crazy. As much as they make you mad, interrupt you, annoy you, curse at you, try to control you, these are the people who know you the best and who love you.
