This time of year, seems to add an extra measure of "holy
crap". Christmas, 45th wedding
anniversary, and the New Year, it feels like I am already bearing more than I
can, more than I should ever have to. There is the heaviness of all the ways I
miss you and the traditions that have gone flat. Death sours the season in ways that I could not have ever
known or understood.
I have always loved the holidays. There are parts of me that
want the traditions to stay exactly the same, other times I want to change
everything make it new, start fresh. But right now, I think I would rather
just hide in my blanket fort until the whole thing is over and adding insult to
injury… it is another Monday …always a good day for a blanket fort. I have no idea how I will survive, just
fairly certain as long as I have a blanket fort that I will.
