Otherwise, it's simply one more way of making oursleves feel better during a stressful time of the year for many.<br />Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190876383418700062.post-59121730912168172832013-12-21T23:42:18.147-05:002013-12-21T23:42:18.147-05:00I'm not sad at Christmas, I just want to celeb...I'm not sad at Christmas, I just want to celebrate in my own way.

My own two daughters ages 45 and 47 have not spoken for over 4 years. It got even worse when they were both at their Dad's on Thanksgiving and one choose to tell the group she had NO SISTER anymore. Everyone at the gathering was made uncomfortable. I fear they will never be sisters again. We pray every night for healing but it can be difficult to feel optimistic. So, we have breakfast at one daughters, dinner at the others. I confess to a certain jealousy when I see families happily together during this time. But I can grateful that hubby and I have a good relationship with both of them. All we can do is love them and continue prayingPhyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184706027679979998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-190876383418700062.post-75888548891894752992013-12-21T15:30:19.059-05:002013-12-21T15:30:19.059-05:00Thanks Nan for sharing your blog with me.
