| I have 3 special Christmases. #1 is the year dd#2 was born, she came home at just 5lbs so she could notr handle a cold Christmas so we stayed home that year. I made a meatloaf for dh an my folks stopped by as did my in laws. It was quiet and peaceful and very loving.
This one is bittersweet, my dad was dying and we tried so hard to ignore it and pretend all was fine. He was so sick and died in April. The next year my dbs and I tried again to pretend all was ok and make Christmas as we remembered it. We learned a lesson my dad would have thought we knew you cannot go back only forward
