Peace be with you and your family

 

With Christmas just a couple of days away  I wanted to make a wish. I wish for peace to be with you and your family over the holidays.

As it gets closer and closer it seems to be getting harder and harder to believe that this is my families first Christmas without Nanny.  It is also my first Christmas away from my family. This is the first year that I will not be with my brother on Christmas morning.  I am spending Christmas eve and morning with Todd’s family up north.

I am looking at this as much of a good thing as a sad thing.  I know that Christmas on the Island this year will be very difficult and I am sure there will be many tears shed over the course of the weekend.  As hard as it is to be away from my family at this time, I am glad that I can be with Todd’s family (who really are lovely!), I can call home on Christmas morning (and I am sure share some tears), and then I can hang up and continue enjoying new holiday traditions with Todd’s family.

So my one wish this Christmas is for peace to be with everyone. I especially hope that peace remains in the hearts of my family as we get through the holidays, and the hearts of all that are experiencing loss or pain this holiday season. Peace be with you….
