and i think i can say without feeling like a drama queen that this is definitely the worst christmas i have ever had. i’ve sat here all day looking though emails and messages, reading about how much fun everyone is having and i really just can’t think of a reason to smile today.

regardless of how i’m feeling today. i wanted to take time to thank everyone again for being very kind to me and my family while we deal with this horrible time in our life. it really means a lot to us. and i do hope that your christmas is much better than ours is right now.

take the time to appreciate everyone and everything around you. ignore the stupid little arguments that you will undoubtly get into this holiday season, and just be thankful that you have them there in your life.
