Thank you for that lovely reminder, you are absolutely right! I'm one of those struggling financially my kids know that - but I continue to give them what I can, and they are rich in return.
I spent last night at the hospital with my youngest - she hugged me when we got home and thanked me for being there. They konw that no matter what happens, dear old mom is there for them, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
I have been feeling remarkably strong, and feeling better for myself - this morning I woke with tears in my eyes. No reason really that's just how I woke up. So I'm sitting here for a moment trying to shake this off to get ready for work and rady for another day.
So Jack - I can see you smiling and it helps!
Wishing you the Merriest of Holidays! Enjoy

Thank you Jack - you are right and today in my travels I will smile and wish everyone I see a Merry Christmas.

It is the day to rejoice our Savior's birth and nothing else matters.

I've even talked my kids into going to Midnight Mass with me tonight. How cool is that!!!!!

Have a very Blessed Christmas Jack - you are one of the good guys.

You're so right. Have a very Merry Christmas. I hope you and your beautiful daughter have a wonderful time. Hugs my friend.

Thank you, Jack! You are so right! There is so much giving to be done that lasts forever! Material things do not last or have the same meaning!

Wishing you all a Christmas filled with love and kindness! You are all wonderful!

Thank you for reminding me what is important, sometimes it is hard not to just focus on my own pain but I do believe if you give you cant really focus so much on you.

Merry Christmas to you! Tami

Thank you, you are so right. We should all remember the reason for the season.

Wishing you all peace, comfort and joy for this Holiday Season!

I just wanted to wish each of my friends a Merry Christmas and thank you for sharing your hearts, your love, your hugs, your wisdom, your advice, your kindness, your joy, you sadnesses with me. You have all enriched my life. You each reached inside yourselves to post things that were vulnerable, angering, humbling, happy, and full of wisdom to help, nurture, each of us. I cannot imagine what my life would have been without all of you. This is a tough time for each of us as our families and lives have changed, but we are getting through this and I can say that for me, I'm in a much better place and healing well. I'm so thankful. I wish the same for all of you. Big hugs and the warmest of holiday wishes!
