POPSTis The Season Of Joy And Sadness I'm often sad during the holidays. I miss my oldest daughter so much! I think of all the good times my husband and I used to have with his parents who have been gone for quite a while. I miss the well father I never had who died at only 53 years of age. I mourn for my husband who is in constant pain. But there is so much to be blessed about; family, friends, church and my relationship with God. My life is like a tapestry turned backwards but it will all make sense one day :)

POPSThe Gift Of The Magi "It's important to remember charity, giving gifts that have meaning and caring for others and the treasure in giving a gift of such meaning makes us feel good too - so when you are out shopping for your spouse, your parents, your children and more - think less about the greatest hot gift out there and more about the gifts of love you can give. " Merry Christmas And Happy New Year To All.
