My dear friend from the next town over lost her DH on Friday. They were the only family either of them had. Today she called me in tears. She was crying so hard I had to wait for her to finish "venting" before I could understand what she needed. She needed me to know how terrified she is of having Christmas alone, and asked if she might be welcome here. Really? She thought I might say no? Once she calmed down I told her we would welcome her here Christmas Eve, and she will spend the night to be here to open gifts. When I told her we were having a "Leg of Lamb" she said "wonderful, can I help you make it? I have a great recipe!". Well I guess if I had waited one more day, I would not have had to ask. Lol!
Our family dinner will be on Tuesday to accommodate work schedules, and as usual I am making Christmas dinner for my "orphan on Christmas" friends. Thanks again. I learned a lot from you all.
