This is a little late, but Merry Christmas to our friends and family.
Our family Christmas tradition is to have grandma (mom's mom) and mom's sister over on Christmas Eve. Usually there is a dinner of some sort with a theme and then the ever so famous family pictures around the tree and sometimes a "hunt" for baby Jesus to see who goes first opening gifts and/OR a reading of the Christmas story in Luke.
This year we decided to go with "easy" for the food theme and kept it to app's and desserts. The gifting was all about the kids this year, and it was fun to watch all of their eyes light up with joy and excitement.
I really don't know what to update, all she does now pretty much is sleep. She wakes occasionally to eat, to ask for a warm washcloth over her eyes, and occasional change of shirt, etc. She is still in minimal physical pain... so we wait.
Although we made sweet memories for the kids this Christmas, it was the hardest Christmas of our lives. I know mom wanted to be here for it, and although she was "here"... she wasn't. I'm just going to be honest and say I'm angry, I wish she could've been "home" with Jesus for Christmas. I just don't get it and there's nothing anyone can say to justify it, we'll never know until we're in heaven with her as well. Come Lord Jesus... Come and take her home...
