Good Christmas Eve to all of you,
whether you celebrate it,
or not.
The sentiment is there anyway.
Peace on earth,
good will towards all.
The older I get, the more I appreciate the family I was born into.
The older I get, the more I realize the blessings of friendship.
The older I get, the more I miss certain people.
The older I get, the more I know that love is the most important part of,
everything.
At this time of year, I miss my grandmother and grandfather,
so much. I wish I could tell them what their example of grace and good humor, hard work and sacrifice, has meant in my life. They were good people, hard working and smart, kind and generous.
I miss my father, who could be terrible at the holidays, but, who was never boring. Charming and gregarious, dark and sarcastic, too.
I realize, now, that demons from your past are awakened at Christmas and that isn't peoples fault.
I miss my friend Francoys. He disliked the consumerism and he would never consider, celebrating the baby Jesus:-) But, he was kind and jovial and the most hospitable of hosts.
My life is forever changed because of his loss.
I miss them all, but, those I still,
have,
are just as wonderful.
My mother the little ball of energy,
what would I do without her?
My friend Helene and her wonderful mother, family for so many years.
My aunt, my uncle, my wonderful cousins and little baby cousins.
My health is good, my mind is strong, I have the woman of my dreams,
in my life.
Let us not quibble about things we cannot control,
distance,meaneness,
let us concentrate on loving each other
let us be grateful for all that we have,
and,
remember the good times.
From me to you,
Merry Christmas
Be well
Later girls,
BB
