We have had a wonderful Christmas here on Spruce Hill. Eaten way too many meals and sweets. Opened an enormous amount of gifts. Before Christmas the girls asked me what I wanted and I told them, all I need is you girls and Daddy and I am happy with that. Family is the most important thing.
As most families are winding down their festivities ours is just kicking into gear. As I sit here typing on the computer I have a house full of guests. Happy girls and one boy running around doing karaoke, jumping on the trampoline and playing indoor flashlight tag. All of us gathering to celebrate Christmas, but sad at the same time. My husband's Grandmother died yesterday at the age of 98. So our gathering is filled with a few tears mixed in. But as we sit here together we seek comfort in our memories of her. She was a tough lady, a devout Catholic, and an amazing cook. She loved all her grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was one of a kind. She will be missed. We all love you and will miss you Nana!
It sounds like she lived a fulfilling life, Sarah. It is good to rejoice what you have lost. All my best being sent your way.
