I adopted my sister's baby 14 months ago. Things were fine until a few weeks ago when she unloaded on me about how she hasn't really been dealing with everything as well as I thought. My mom talked to her and found out that the root of the problem was that she thinks I am not appreciative. Of course I am, but looking back, I never officially thanked her, but in my defense I thought the best thing was to not make a big deal. Now I am wondering if I do need to do something to properly thank her, though I have no idea what. I don't want it to be some huge grand gesture, and I want it to be a one time thing that will hopefully provide what she needs to put this behind her and continue to have a good relationship with me and my son. A friend suggested a note in a card. Any suggestions?
