So it's never easy this time of year to think about the things you've lost. This should be a happy time of year. Well, unfortunately, this year not only did I have to think about it, I had to live it! That is even worse. Every year on Christmas I think about my grandpa and how much different Christmas is without him at my grandma's, but it's a completely different feeling to lose that someone so close to Christmas. I'll never forget how I felt that week. I thought, "Christmas will never be the same this year. I'll never be able to enjoy it." But I have somehow managed to turn that all around. I have dove right into the shopping that I usually dread doing. I usually think of it as a chore instead of a task to do to put huge smiles on my kids' faces. This year I am going to be the one up at the crack of dawn waiting for them! I can't wait! I have finally learned the true meaning of Christmas! I could open one present this year and be perfectly happy. (Cuz let's face it! No one wants to not get anything!) LOL! I just want my kids to be tickled pink, which I know they will be.
Thank you Peanut for being my reminder that family is the most important thing! I hope you have a Merry Christmas this year with all the ones we miss this time of year! I love you SO much! AND tell Jesus Happy Birthday from us!
