Imagine one of the most important people in your life. Now picture not being able to spend the holidays with them. Now picture not being able to ever spend another holiday with them ever again. Christmas will definitely never be the same.
I know that it's going to be hard for my whole family during the holidays. That is why I suggested that we do something different for Christmas, make a new tradition. We can always hold in our hearts what we shared with Andrianna at Christmas time, but this Christmas as well as every Christmas to come will never be the same.
Andrianna loved family time. She almost always wanted to play some kind of board game. She just wanted to be together and spend time together, she loved having people around her.
This year I suggested that we go out for dinner on Christmas Eve, to keep it simple. Of course not many places are open late on Christmas Eve. I did find one place that is open until 7:30 p.m. I invited Bobby as well (Andrianna's fiance). I know he's struggling just like the rest of us and I thought he might want to come out. I'm glad he accepted my invitation.
I know I write a lot about Andrianna...she's constantly on my mind, and in my heart.
Today we went over to The Campbells for our yearly Christmas get together. I wasn't in much of a mood to go shopping this year and John is never in a mood so of course it was left to the last minute. So at 12 p.m. today right when Toys R Us opened we went shopping for Kyle and Kaylee. We lucked out and they loved the gifts! Sometimes procrastinating works out.
It was a nice evening...we're so lucky to have good friends.
