Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone,

Hope you are all having an amazing and wonderful Christmas. Christmas morning was wonderful, and now we’re heading to John’s parents to enjoy more Christmas activities with the rest of the family. I am super excited to come home and open and get to using my new Cricut machine. I’ve been wanting one for a long time and John was so sweet and got me one for Christmas. I will have an entire year of crafting ahead of me. What did you all get? Sent those comments. I love hearing from you all. I was very touched by the wonderful comments I received yesterday.

I don’t have a lot to say today, other than, Merry Christmas. It feels good to be able to wish my family and friends Merry Christmas. It’s all about family and the love we share. This year has been a crazy one for sure. Covid has had such an impact on everyone around the world. I’m grateful that we have each other and that we are able to communicate, even if it is by phone or email. This year I lost the most important man in my life, my daddy. I miss him so much. The one thing I never got to have was Christmas with my dad, and now I only get to have him in my memory. I am thankful that he did give me 4 amazing gifts in this life. I am beyond overfilled with love, because I got to meet my big brother John and his amazing wife Donna this year, and hopefully soon, I will get to meet their wonderful children and grandchildren. I was able to reconcile with Jimmy and Brittnege. I sure love them and I’m so excited to have them back in my life. Landon, Tryston and little Katelynn mean the world to me. One day I hope to be able to share Christmas with them.

Being raised a JW, Christmas wasn’t in the cards for me. I never missed the present part of Christmas, what I did miss was family and gathering together, that’s what I missed more than anything in the world. I used to wonder what my cousins were all doing on Christmas. I always wanted to be apart of the holidays with them. For the first time ever, I was able to call my great aunt Billie and wish her a very Merry Christmas. It warmed my heart to be able to talk to her. I missed out on so much and now I’m grateful for the future and being able to share the holidays with everyone. One day soon, I hope to be able to spend Christmas with Kevin and Jagger and maybe her family too. What a wonderful gift in family Kevin received. Jagger’s family has welcomed him and made him part of their family. I hope he enjoys every moment experiencing what the true meaning of Christmas is. I hope wherever you are in the world, you have the Merriest of Christmas’s and the Happiest of New Years!! Love you all

I hope you all have the greatest of Christmas’s and even if you’re alone this holiday season, know that you are valued and loved. Merry Christmas everyone. Until next time, Love Life++
