Anniversary Of A Life Well Lived

I can’t believe it’s been 12 years since her death. Partly because the hole that came from that loss never gets smaller. We are never in less pain, we just get better at moving forward with it there. We find a new normal. I usually commemorate her death and birthday with her favorite drinks. She was a run slush and wine cooler pro.

This week at the grocery store, we passed by a brand of roll up snack that she used to pack in our lunches. Had to snag them for the occasion, because why not? They go well with rum, so you should try these! They still look the same after 12 years too. I hope she is out there somewhere getting into all sorts of mischief.

Merry Christmas

Ladies and Gentlemen!

What a year this 2020 has been, but I am always grateful for the Christmas Holiday. As a child, I never understood some parents asking children for socks as a Christmas gift until I became an adult. Well, maybe I can’t claim adulthood, but at least the age one usually reaches adulthood. Overnight my socks became a much bigger deal to me since my feet are so often cold, all. the. time. Even in the dead of summer, don’t ask me how, they don’t play by the rules. So this year I am thankful for receiving multiple rounds of those plush, mid-calf socks.

Santa was listening. To everyone else out there, I hope today was a great one.
