Yesterday was a great day. My husband got offered a job that he had been really wanting, and will start on January 4. He had been working at a place that made him miserable, so we’re very excited. A lot of this year has been hard (in ways I can’t number), but we’re so blessed in so many ways.
I do have to admit that I am a little tired of people pointing that out to me because it’s Christmas, however. I know I’m blessed, but I’m allowed to mourn. I’m allowed to be sad and want my daughter back. I don’t really know anyone in my everyday life who has been through this, and so nobody really has the right to tell me how to feel. I just smile and say, “Thank you,” but I am a little frustrated with that forced cheer.
That’s not a very merry thought. Here’s a better one – I hope that everyone has a safe, warm Christmas, filled with love and warm memories. May the new decade be a good one for everyone.

Angie, hubby getting the job he wants is great news. Congrats. *hugs*
I know what you mean. Its like people don't stop and think of the pain that comes along with Christmas...yes, its all about family, but our babies were part of our family and we expected them here and they are not. We are left with a hole in our hearts that they can not understand.
