Better late than never!?
I am so proud of you, and upset, and reminded of what an f'ed up thing cancer can be. I was thinking of you and your mom and dad, and family ,your house decorated for Christmas and I was thinking of my dad and our situation. I feel like everyday, now looking back, was Christmas. I cry just thinking about how I would call my dad for for holidays, and our birthday- it was on the same day-and now it is quiet and somber, and it is barely the holidays. I don't want to bring you down, I want to bring you up. This is such a precious time for your family, I would like to remind you of how precious, and annoying, and upsetting it may be, you might not have this again. When it is gone it is very, very much a gift in many a weird way. I swear it will echo for all your eternity, so try to be in the moment, for them, and then it will be about you, with all my love and prayers Karen
PS EVERYDAY IS CHRISTMAS
