I am off from work today. My family is meeting her Sunday morning for breakfast and gifts. I still have a lot of cleaning to do and I still need to wrap gifts.
RC and his mom are leaving today to drive to his sister's for Christmas. He will be coming back late Sunday or early Monday. We aren't sure yet.
I took advantage of the day off and slept in a little. My oldest son was coming to pick up my younger son at 8am for Christmas shopping, and I knew my son needed some spending money.
So I set my alarm to make sure I was up at 8am.
At around 7:45 am, RC sent me a text to tell me that his family were there late last night and told me who all was there.
He also told me about something he did with his grandson that made the grandson giggle (inside joke about a goofy song that is out).
Then he said that his step daughter said she wanted him and her bio father to walk her down the aisle at her wedding. I know that made him feel good.
We exchanged texts for a couple of hours.
I thanked him for the encouraging words yesterday and told him how great his timing was with the texts.
I typed "HUG" and he responded "HUGS"
It's been silent for a little while now and I need to get on with my wrapping and cleaning.
