Skipping Christmas

Christmas.... It should be a time of blessings, laughter, snow, and good cheer. But, this year is different. This Christmas our house feels like one thing-cancer. Definitely not what went into the usual mix and in no way did it allow for any Christmas spirit to seep through. There were no Christmas carols being sung and you can bet your ass nobody was in the mood to celebrate. I wasn't expecting to say goodbye so soon, but we don't always find what we want under the tree.
I certainly wasn't expecting to fall in love. Mostly, I hadn't anticipated feeling free to let go and move on with my life in more ways than one. I wasn't expecting a Christmas miracle.but that's just what I got.
