A NEW YEAR IS A'COMING

Our Riera Christmas is done. 

It was a success. I am glad it was, all my Kiddies

were happy and they were also very kind to me.

Gypsy baby insists that  I will love the gift she had

to order for me which will be ready today.

My offspring know I expect a love letter each holiday.

The only one that I got was one that was not from 

a child I gave birth to but who is just as important,

my dear godchild, Tedigirl.

I don't want to share the whole love letter here

as it is so personal, between she and I and yet,

she has made me cry and asked me to be

her Confirmation sponser.

Of course a large, resounding YES!

My lil pookie, having some rough days with growing up

issues and I am so very touched that I am in her "village"

able to help her along with her Mommy and Daddy.

Now my Christmas things are down,

HOBL and I, doing a fall cleaning.

So many before me has had the first Christmas

without a person they loved. Like I with my Mommy.

Some have also said I have to get over the loss.

I know that, I will yet we all must do it each in our own way.

The way I handle it is allowing me the sad feelings of

my loss so that I can let it go.

When seeing someone sad, realize it is not always a bad

thing even if it looks like the person is suffering more.

I miss my Momma. I can't deny that.

I was so happy to take down the Christmas trees.

I cried as I took down my silver one.

I know my Mommy would have been with us.

She would have loved to watch us all enjoy our presents.

I just miss her so. 

The year 2014 is coming. 

I am making changes, big changes.

Going to have a big, big resolution list...

It will be one with many challenges,,,,

stay tuned.
