Hi Deb,
This has sure been the year for surgeries for you, hasn't it? You have to be so sick of those casts by now but when their over with, you'll feel much better. I'll be thinking about you. And, your feet, too!!!
Simple is good for the holiday's because you're right, all the prep and the havoc and it's over before we know it. But, it's always shocking, the emotions that surface and how huge it all seems....there doesn't even seem to be a shadow in sight because it can be all consuming some years. And, then others it goes by and we enjoy it without a problem. I think it has a lot to do with what else we have going on in our lives. How happy we are and if we're dealing with more loss which will only compound our issues.
We do the best we can. This year is special because Dad is already getting excited seeing the decorations and the lights and he wants to know what it's all about. This will be, to Dad his first Christmas. I'll make it grand in every way! He's so special and precious to me!
Thanks for the update on letting us know how you're doing. Always love to hear from you!

My love,
