Moving to hive

Hi Bernie
I got a puppy for my kids!
I have promised my daughter a dog when we move and get a backyard of our own since she was 4. Now 14 it looked like it was never going to happen.
Just before christmas we finally made a big move ( popularly referred to as a tree change, but the more honest answer is ... to the sticks because it is affordable and close to my mother who I rely on heavily). Our moved from the city to a more rural area has been many months in the making, my ongoing illness has meant that my family has sacrificed a lot for me. My daughter has moved away from everything she knows for me, and not complained about it. She is an incredible kid. Seeing her puppy in her arms made us all smile. I feel I let my kids down a lot, coming through on mu promise FINALLY made me so happy. Yes I smiled. Not the one I do to pretend everything is still okay, but really smiled.

You have given me perspective during a self indulgent moment. That too makes me smile, as your antics often do too...

Ps
It has been over two years that I have been steeming. I first signed up on steemit really only to host a single story I wanted to document somewhere. I didn't know at the time that the event I was docummenting was to be the last active thing I was going to do.
I also had no idea what steemit was, I was signed up by my husband, and had no expectations (maybe that is the secret to sticking around, not expecting anything).
When that story was upped by you I was astounded by how it jumped. Your support meant a lot to me. It sparked my interest and gave me a distraction, one I didn't realise I would dearly need over the following months then years.
I didn't know that life was about to change and that steemit would become a refuge of sorts.
I just wanted to say thanks.
My tiny world is less closed off because of steemit. Those early steemit days gave me an outlet I never anticipated and have allowed me to endue. Within a difficult circumstance these small things measure up to something significant . One might say they have a ripple effect of sorts.
You never can know how much your actions can effect people, sometimes it's worth just telling as stranger that they made a difference in your life. That makes me smile too.

Princess Billie
Night two.
I had a labby cross when I was a kid, but he was my big brother, my parents got him 4 years before I was born. This is another baby, that my 14 yr old baby was going to be in charge of, my human daughter did get up yesterday at 530. After one hideous poo, 3 pees and one spew during the night that she managed to sleep through. By 530 I decided she could have a go, my husband and I had taken turns to care for her. It did mean she was up 5 hrs earlier than usual. It is summer holidays here.
I took her in and said, This is your mummy, your majesty, princess was asking for her mother.
She wants her in her bedroom with her, which is fine for me, once she is settled, she sleeps at her door at the moment, she was evicted soon after pooing of her carpet.
I spotted you have a princess too. Billie does have a concept for going outside, How long until this baby part (and the bladder capacity, plus hideous transition to dogfood) is over?
I feel like the grandma in those Teen Mom reality shows.

I was on road driving my car. I saw a kid selling balloons in a corner. No one was buying from him. I bought a balloon from him. His desperate looking face began to shine with joy. That made me smile. After all just spending money worth 10 cents, I helped a child a bit.
