DEAR ABBY: I am a 15-year-old girl and a caring person. I'm worried about my mother. She has been an addict for nine years. She always says she wants help, but she never follows through with getting the help she needs. I have asked her many times to go and get help, and have told her how bad her using makes me feel.

DEAR ABBY: My sister faced various life-threatening illnesses. She always said, "Never put off telling the people you love how you feel about them because you might not have a tomorrow." She practiced what she preached, and we all knew that she loved us. When she passed away eight years ago, it was a painful loss, especially for our mother.

• Rene Spring: Dear Santa, Here are my holiday wishes for Our Morgan Hill: 1.Keep us safe!  Make sure that we will have no car accidents in our cities and that those who want to commit a crime either have a change of heart, or follow you to the North pole! 2. Let it rain soon and enough without flooding our streets! 3. Keep our Morgan Hill a great place to live in!  Help spread the words across the Silicon Valley about our great town and its surroundings so that many more will come and visit our town to shop, dine, and to enjoy our local wineries and parks! 4. Ensure that Morgan Hill continues to be a giving town! Give where You Live: The Morgan Hill Community Foundation is one of our great local charitable organizations in our town and dear to my heart! So, dear Santa, if you know of some wonderful people in our town who would like to become donors to the MHCF, provide them with this link:http://www.morganhillcf.org 5. Ensure that the Leadership Morgan Hill Class of 2014 will have a great experience and provide our community with another wonderful class project! Wishing all of you a wonderful 2014!
