It’s tough being back in the house during the holidays after being gone for so long. Mom and I were going to see her sister who has cancer (they found a new spot on her liver) but I went inpatient and mom cracked a rib during a fall. We may try to go see her sister in December or use my vacation package for a change of scenery. I’m sure it’s these first few holidays that are going to be toughest. I’m trying not to be down or depressed for mom’s sake. It’s hard.

I think I mentioned that we are planning a family reunion for summer 2023. We have a large extended family. I’m looking forward to it. My whole family is. My daughter is particularly excited. Surprised there.

I hope everyone has a peaceful day. Much love
