Thank you, James - that was so moving and profound! I see you live in PA. If you'd like to join our family for Christmas, you're more than welcome to join us.
My daddy died 3 1/2 years ago, and how I regret the kvetching I did on What in the World to Get Him!! I'd do almost anything to think of something other than a blanket of roses for his grave. My mother's health started going downhill about a year later, and my uncle's too weak to leave the house for Christmas. I used to tease that we could have a family reunion in a linen closet, but it's not so funny anymore...
Our family has grown by one dog, one very loving, cute, and funny dog who has brought us - especially my mother! - a world of joy. He is seriously keeping my mother going!
Thank you again, James, for your lovely thoughts, and making me think about what I have, instead of have not. You've blessed my Christmas already!
PS - and I'm sincere about dinner. We're low key, high calorie when it comes to holiday dinners, but if you think you could handle that, PM me.
