a strange thing, this lull
like december as a child... gifts silently waiting... enticing us with bows and shimmers of red, silver and gold. don't parents remember the pain of suspense... spending sleepless eternities in imagination only to wake to more dreams and "is it"s?
to not know is both torture and the ultimate lesson of life.
it is in waiting that we discover the truth about ourselves...
...and learn to trust the heart of the One who places all things under the tree.
and so i wait...
all the time hoping for something fun...
...but fearing it's just underwear... or my aunt's fruit cake.
We must all remember that althought underwear is a dull gift it is truly something that we need...Not so sure about fruit cake.
You are in my thoughts and prayers everyday

My dear Friend...I read "the Blog" the first couple of times and it was hard-so hard. Stayed away because of the pain. Now, I'm back and I can hardly stand it. I realize I'm not a strong person when it comes to my friends and their pain. I just want to hold you and make it better but I can't so I shed tears and pray for you and your family and hold you all close to my heart.
