Very, very different holiday. H spent an hour with kids this morning - then moved on to his "new" family. I was very sad that we were all apart - but I went a did some things myself and I was ok.
H missed out on S's excitement over buying his gf a gift. He was so cute watching me wrap them - making sure I did it just right. What a blessing - what a gift.
Tonight it is just me and my middle D. S is with girlfriend's family / oldest D is with boyfriend's family. I was prepared for the kids to move on but I always thought I'd be home with H. It is not meant to be.
But I am ok.
Merry Christmas to wonderful friends!
