Finding Christmas
I've spent countless holidays with loved ones I will never see again, and I've spent some of them alone too. Many of the traditions I grew up with have been lost along the way, while new ones have been found. But the best thing that ever happened, the best gift I could have received, was the arrival of this little girl 2 years ago... right before the holidays!
For years the holidays were nothing but miserable for me, they were really difficult. But she brought Christmas back, because now I see everything through her eyes! The wonder of the Christmas tree, the fear of Santa (hopefully that changes), the delight in opening her presents and the genuine joy in her eyes. Her smile lights up the room and fills my heart.
Christmas really doesn't come from a store... because with this LO in my life, it means a whole lot more!
