Anonymous Elf - my goodness - you pulled off quite a trick in my own front yard! With spotlight ON no less! Did you wear tinsel to blend in??? Mark and I are so grateful. Yesterday was a hard day for me, Service Master came and I had to really really throw out all the ruined stuff. My wedding photos (framed) so many kid pictures. I know it's just "Stuff" but it hit me hard. Like my happier, younger, pre-autism days (as few as there were) were gone. Then I found a photo album I'd forgotten about - that was OK - from right out of college with so many of the people I love and loved and am still close to today, 20+ years later. I felt sadder, but better.
It's an odd season - we're supposed to be so happy and yet, there's so much emotion and baggage tied into Christmas.
Your surprise helps us to keep the faith. And to remember we have great riches, all in all.
And so it did! Merry Christmas, Michele. Thank you so much! Celebrate those gorgous boys! Recovered, almost recovered and on his way. The greatest gift of all, getting our kids back.
