the true meaning of Christmas.......

Mae: mom, what I really want for Christmas, Santa can't bring. Jane: me too. Me: what's that? Mae: dad to be better. Me: (crickets) Jane: but it is Jesus' birthday and he can bring that. Me: and that is the true meaning of Christmas.



I am sure that emily post and my mother are cringing at the fact that I have done a generic thank you to everyone that has blessed us over the last 6 months but this is as good as it is going to get.  Those who are appalled should try to be a caregiver, work full time and keep a "normal" routine for 2 girls.  Then come on back and lets discuss hand written thank yous!

I think your card and your thank you is more beautiful than any Emily Post could write herself.. I wish I could bring you a dinner or watch your girls or bless you. I do pray for you though and will continue to do so.
