Surprising I am doing good this year. I too have actually lost both parents, my Mom was born Christmas day, so I have my moments. I miss her soooooooooooo much. Im just thankful for my awesome husband and my fantastic son who has grown into one of the most awesome people I know. And...to boot..my son is giving us a DIL this next year, making our family even better. God bless you and your family, stay busy, with love and sincerity, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I'm better than I was a couple of weeks ago, so I guess I'm coming out of it.
On the upside, my kids and their families, my sister-in-law and her family will be here for dinner tonight. And I'm better organized than I usually am.
I hope you have a good Christmas in spite of your feelings and a happy, healthy new year.
