This Christmas has been hard, with the just the kids and I. My Husband was not allowed to come home, due to lack of management in the office. I have expressed anger, sadness, depression, confussion, pretty all you can ever express when in any point of emotions can be expressed.
This is our thirteenth christmas, and been together every year and to not have it this year has definately had its tole. My kids handled it better than I did they even went as far as saving one present each to open until their daddy comes home. To have their christmas with their daddy. I am simply amazed the great spirit my kids had. We had our family christmas, then went and spent christmas with Tylors mom. I was really considering not going at first, because I was simply in a depression of emotions. But I bucked up and started enjoying the idea of going to my mum inlaws house. I love her and her expression of still making me feel welcome when I was down. I could not ask for a better person to have in my life. It was a great day of smiles, laughter, and family.
When the time came to wake Tylor up, since he works nights and yes he worked on Christmas. It was a total bummer for him but it kept him busy. Most of his family got to talk to him on the phone, which made him a lil emotional himself, but at least he knows he is loved. It made his day lets just put it that way. And it sure made mine. I love the holidays but it simply isnt the same when the family isnt together. But since it is a day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, it was a great reminder of our redeemers entrance into the earth and to praise his peaceful spirit. I will always remember the feelings I endured this Christmas, and remind my children of what the true meaning of Christmas is all about.
