A different Christmas this year

[crowdog66]

I've been feeling down all day, because Christmas is coming and so many thing will be different.

No Christmas card from my mother.

No homemade baking from her, either.

No helping her shop for a nice gift for George.

No dinner at her place on Christmas Eve (or dinner with her anywhere, for that matter). Her table settings were works of art. She'd always set the table the day before, and fuss endlessly over the quality of the meal. At the time I found it annoying; now I'd give anything to have one more evening with her.

No hugs, no kisses, nothing.

She's gone. It's all gone. And that sucks.

My offer to have dinner here on Christmas Eve still stands... of course I read that wrong and thought you'd said "no dinner anywhere" instead of what you did say, but that aside... if you want the distraction it's available but I get it if you'd rather have a quiet night on christmas eve... mew...

I wish I could say I understand as I'm trying to cope without my mother right now too, but it's under much different circumstances. Still, I give you my best wishes. You'll make it through the season, I'm certain. *hug*

:: Huge hug:: If you lived closer, I'd invite you and George to spend some time with us over the holidays. You're the nearest to a sister that I have and we'd be glad to have you with us.
