A Great Christmas
The bellys are stuffed, the dishes washed, and Christmas dinner is over. Yes, I made it through my first Christmas without my husband.
It was a great day, cold, with two inches of fresh snow. The snow was a concern at first because my stepdaughter was coming over and I was concerned about road conditions. Nevertheless, she said they would be fine and came over about two hours later. That's when we women got together--my stepdaughter and I-- cooking away in my tiny kitchen. That girl is such a blessing, I could cry.
Later, we sat around, watching the children open their presents and watching football on TV. My husband was missed and I couldn't help but look at my dear little one year old grand-daughter who will never know the great man her grandfather was.
But then, my stepdaughter told me a story about looking at a picture of her father and my granddaughter walked up and said, grandpa. It warms my heart.
Anyhow, Merry Christmas to everyone on DS.
