Silence is golden?

Well, I knew it was going to happen but it still bothers me. A package from my parents was left on my doorstep via UPS for C. The presents are all wrapped inside the box, so I don't know what they bought him. And, of course, no note.

I had already decided that sending back the package, once it eventually arrived, would be taken as a message of spite. I have always, always, been the one to reach out and try to mend fences. Since I have no desire to mend the fence for myself or for C, I decided that the best message to send is... nothing. Silence.

I will give C their presents and hope that he doesn't ask where they are. The thought alone breaks my heart. I honestly wish that they would just go away.
