As the sun goes down on this Christmas Day I give thanks to God for everything. This is the 3rd Christmas without my husband and I am doing surprisingly well. My daughter is at her dad's house this Christmas. She has been there since Sunday night. I get her on even years, he gets her on odd years. You would think after 11 years of this that I would be used to it by now BUT... I miss her like crazy and I can't wait until she gets back this Sunday evening. Even though the loves of my life were not here with me on this Christmas day I am doing OK. I had an OK day today. I spent the day with my family at my lil brother's new house they bought this past April in Garden Grove, CA. I got an awesome gift from my mom, a juicer!!!!!! Now I can make all the best fresh juice's I love to get from Jamba Juice and the store for a fraction of the price. But to me Christmas is not about gift giving. It's more about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. I even went to church last night for the Christmas Eve candle light service. It was okay. The only thing that made me sad was that this was the church that I was married in and the church that my husband was baptized in. I could see my husband in his white gown being baptized all over again. It was sad. Anyways all in all I had a good day. My mom wrote me the sweetest note this morning saying that my husband would not of wanted me to be sad and depressed today or ever, that he would of wanted me to be happy and have a very Merry Christmas. I truly believe this. I love my mom very much!!!!! =) So Merry Christmas to you all and to all a good NIGHT!!!!!!
God Bless =)
God Bless =)
