Just got my mother's annual Christmas letter. It was addressed to me and D6 so I read it aloud to her. I broke down a bit and cried when I read my mother's words about additions and losses to the family and my divorce was mentioned.

I pulled myself together and explained to D6 that sometimes it hits me hard, and we went on to watch Frosty the Snowman together. Lord please give me, your agnostic son, strength to make it through these trying times as best as I can.

Going to take D6 out and have some retail therapy as we have a few small gifts left to purchase.

Wishing you all the hope and strength you'll need to make it through these trying times,
OTH
