Well, it has been a really long time since I wrote and I thought maybe today was the day. I had a great Thanksgiving in Pennsylvania, it was so nice to see family and friends. It also was a very sad one for me for I saw my dear friend whom is dying. She hugged me so tightly and cried and I felt so helpless. I wanted to just hold her forever. I hated closing the door and leaving, I hate that, that particular day was probably the last I will see her and what I hate most is that realization.
I will cherish that day forever....
The year is almost over and I really can't wait for 2009. I'm hoping it will bring not so much sickness, tears and death. I know it is a part of life but 2008 was bittersweet. My friend Jeanie dying is still something that plagues me, the not knowing what happened is so mind-boggling. On the good side, we bought our new home. Such a joyous occasion, to buy the house we plan to be in for a long, long time. A new home, also, with Corian counters, walk in closets and after we finish the basement, 3200 sq ft of living space. I will have that front porch I have wanted FOREVER with rocking chairs and tables. Big back yard with woods where I can chase the kids. I can't wait for that day......yet, I still think to myself, I can surely wait for the day my friend passes away......
a bittersweet 2008....
Well, today is December 1st and I'm counting down until Christmas. I just love this holiday season and the excitement my children feel. It will be our last one in our current house. We have packed up so much stuff and jeesh, you don't know how much "stuff " you have until you really start packing. Luckily, we packed up half the house in July. I think we will get our tree today or tomorrow and I really love at night watching T.V. and having just the tree lights on. It makes me so snuggly and want to drink hot chocolate. One of those small things, beautiful thing, I never take for granted.
I wish all of you a wonderful holiday season and may you have many, many blessings.
