Holidays


Holidays are usually emotionally up and down for me. This year is no exception.

There are a whole realm of emotions that bombard me ...

  • the reality of stepfamily scheduling
  • missing PopPop and Grandmom at Thanksgiving
  • the joy of reconnecting with Jeff, Wendy and Matthew & Sarah ...my Cauffman family... this year was wonderful!
  • the approaching wedding anniversary of John and I on December 10... this year would have been 16 years... grief creeps in again... unexpectedly at times.
  • the reality of step-family scheduling ... again
  • making sure my children get their Daddy John gift again this year ... this is expected now. :)
  • spending time with my incredible, wonderful, amazing family!!  Oh how I LOVE and VALUE them with my whole heart!!  I feel so very safe with them!!
  • these are only the ones I can mention publicly ...

Eventually we all get to the point of surrendering all we are to the God of the Universe ...
