Merry Christmas. Mom is gone, Dad is gone.. My daughter has had no contact the last 2 yrs and I haven’t seen my granddaughter except through pictures.

So Dan and I are sitting here at home. We are all alone with thoughts of Christmas past. We wish all our friends around the world a Merry Christmas.

It’s hard this year we were wishing for a car that is new to us. But nothing and we know that God has something in the works. Hopefully, by spring we will have a car.

Today, we will have a quiet Christmas at home. We plan to read, spend time cooking, and probably make more cookies. But who knows..

Remember the past and our family times. Most of Dan’s family does Christmas with their own families these days. My sister is in Kenosha and my brother in Pocatello, Idaho. I did get to see my sisters family open presents Via Video and Dan and I opened our gifts.

This year is a big miss and whole in my heart for my mom.. I will always have a butterfly on the tree for her. She wasn’t my biggest support but she was there.. The last facetime before she was on hospice was me crying and I shared in my earlier blog about that.. But I let her know that she was my only mom and that I loved her.

I miss my stepmom, Mary who hasn’t been in contact for years.. None of her family connects with us either.
