my life is good enough, i'm still here, my nephew will be here in less than a week, and for that i'm grateful. and i know how you feel about getting excited for christmas. we didnt even have the energy to put lights on our tree this year. and thats about the only xmas decorations that we've got up so far. i'm also starting to get a little stressed because i've got two christmas presents to make (blankets) before my nephew comes to town. how i get myself into these things i'll never know. i hope youre slowly starting to feel better about this. have you hugged your son yet today? theres no time like the present. and even if you have, one more cant hurt.
> > you cant ruin his christmas. you are his mommy, and you cant do anything wrong. all you really have to do is pick him up, give him a great big hug (which is good therapy for you too), wish him a merry christmas, and watch the glee on his face as he unwraps his toys. christmas is hard for all of us, all of the added stress and all of the added thoughts. the good news is that christmas is gone for another 364 days in 10 days. hang in there, your in my thoughts
