Christmas Old and New

Havent posted for a few weeks, its been a bad month for pain.  Partly due to weather change, partly due to the holidays and that this is my first christmas without my Dad.  My family seems to be falling apart.  Tonite, it will just be my mom and son.  I remember when all the family was together on Christmas eve (that is when my family always opens their presents and gets together) but now it seems lonely.  My granddaughter is with her mom this Christmas, she is 3 1/2yrs old and a bundle of joy.  Christmas isnt christmas without young ones.  She was here over the weekend.  I got a migraine with nausea Sat afternoon and had to go to bed and she said she would take care of me, she is the sweetest little girl. She pulled my blanket up over me and I told her I just wanted to cry and she said, Im here grandma, dont cry.  What a precious girl!  I dont know what I would do without her in my life! She brings such joy and happiness to my life of chronic pain and depression.
