Today I received a Christmas card from my mother who lives in Japan. In it my mother talks of how she is getting by without dad. I know it is very tough for her without him. The family over there is doing their best to make this the best Christmas possible for my mother. The family will prevail.
My father-in-law said it best when I read the contents of the card while we sat at the dinner table: Thank God for memories. Couldn't have said it better myself.
I am not a religious person, but I do thank a Higher Power for all of my memories.
Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad...
And Merry Christmas everyone!
