Kate, what a great idea. It will help with your motivation and busyness is sometimes the best thing when our emotions are all over the place. Good for you! What better way to honor your Dad at his favorite time of year.....by sharing your home with others who hurt! He will be proud.

Kate,I am so sorry for your loss. I was away with comp problems and was just logged in a few minutes ago. I know the heartache of losing a Dad. Please receive a hug and a prayer from this sister. Your plan of inviting someone lonely is a great one. Please celebrate all the beauty of life and sharing.

Hope you do get the painting as a valued memory memento of your father, Kate.
Has your daughter seen this painting that you wish to have? If she hasn't, bring her along to view the painting one more time.
You know your mother, ...sounds similar to mine, in some respects. I share your sighs of sheer frustration...

Is there any chance that your brother would accept the painting on your behalf and then "regift" it to you?

She sounds like one of those people who always needs to have a scapegoat. Very difficult to deal with if you happen to be the scapegoat-de-jour. Especially during sad times like this. I'm praying that she'll have a moment of compassion and see that the painting rightfully belongs with you.
