A Christmas without you
The First Holiday Without Loved One Message You Need To Know
It is never easy
This is my first Christmas with Phi Phi and Crocker. It will be my second without mom. Like all things, I can’t remember what I did last Christmas. On New Year’s eve, I was sick.
My feelings this year are mixed. I’m excited for Phi Phi and Crocker. I prayed that my November earnings will be great and it was, for which my heart is full of gratitude.

It’s the time of the year when we were always OK. I’m at my loving best, and she was as always like most moms are — the best.
And last year, there was nothing to forgive or forget.
Mom wasn't there to welcome me back.
