She came home from work with Christmas cards......and showed me one.
It read......
To Tasha
Have a VERY Happy Christmas
Thank you for being so kind to me.
love J
Now DD1 works in a BUPA Care Home and I assumed it was from one of her clients.
Me "that's nice she appreciates what you do for her"
DD "J's not a client....I work with her......she used to work on the 3rd floor and they were all horrible to her....they didn't talk to her....they laughed at her......they told her she was useless"
Me "why on earth were they like that"
DD "because they're t.....s!"
Me "is there something wrong with her"
DD "NO.....she's a lovely lady....and do you know....she's 75 years old and still working. Now she's working on our floor and A and I have taken her under our wing.......and we make sure she's ok......and chat to her......and include her in everything"
Me "I'm so pleased to hear that"
DD "And it's a good thing A and I were at the Christmas meal.......because otherwise J would have been all on her own......with nobody talking to her. We made her sit with us.....and we made her get up and dance with us. She said she'd had a lovely time.I just don't understand why some people pick on someone and are so horrible"
Neither do I,Tasha......but I'm so glad you're not one of them.

What a lovely daughter you have. You must be so proud of her. How can grown ups be so cruel? You would think that once you are an adult, you would not have to deal with such people. Thankfully there are still people like your daughter to make up for them.

WOW - that's terrible, fancy working with such people - fair play to J for being brave enough to stay at the job and go to the Christmas meal and, as you say, well done to Tasha for not being one of those morons.
Seasons Greetings to you and Tasha (as well as the rest of your family)

It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that she has turned out a good 'un! You have done a fine job there Jacky.
A very Merry Christmas to you all from all of us!
What a lovely young women you have there Jacky! A beautiful story, so glad you recorded it - truly shows a lot about her personality right now.
Merry Christmas!
You raised a kind and loving daughter. Sadly this does seem to happen in the work place sometimes.
Good for her - what a sad situation, but how lovely of her to be making a difference. And well done you for bringing her up right, Jacky xx
I can understand why the story mad eyou tear up, how incredibly sad that there are cruel people in the world. How wonderful that your daughter is a person of light and friendship to this woman. I am sure she has modeled the kindness and respect that she has seen in her parents' actions over the years. Merry Christmas to you and yours, Jacky and to J.
What a lovely conversation, and how proud you must be of your thoughtful and kind daughter!
those others should be ashamed of themselves and you must be so proud you have such a lovely daughter x
You have a girl to be very proud of Jackie.
What a good girl! I can't fathom how some people are treated and I hope you are very proud of your daughter and her ability to look after another human being.
I just don't understand how some people can treat another person so badly, when I hear such a thing my heart aches. Thank goodness there are people like your daughter around to make things a little better.
I have ha a lovely time catching up with your pages. I love all the embellishments you use and that bowl is fabulous!
I'm sure you are very rpoud of your daughter, Jacky. And rightly so!! It's a pity there are not more like her because the world would be a brighter place.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
