Here it is Christmas Eve and I would rather have the covers over my head and be sleeping. I barely have any family to speak of, my husband, daughter and elderly great aunt, all of whom I live with and a best friend in Iowa. My husband and I live on disability and my aunt on social security, we 3 support my 22 yr old daughter who has a 9th grade education and some minor disabilities that keep her from working. If we didn't share expenses, we'd never get by. Our little family is what I have left. Yes we have up a tree and lights, all put up by my daughter, but no presents under the tree to speak of. If it weren't for our local foodshelf, we wouldn't have the modest dinner we're having tomorrow. All I can do is be thankful for what little I do have, just wish it could make the depression better.
