Christmas Eve and Christmas Day of 2012 were uncharted waters for my family. With Dad in the Care Center continuing physical therapy and Mom home and visiting regularly, we faced new celebration challenges. Christmas Eve turned out to be easy, The Hidden Lake Care Center staff had a celebration. All we had to do was join in.
I stumbled on these photos this morning from that Christmas Eve celebration. It really was a wonderful celebration. Everyone tried to be upbeat, in spite of the hell that each and every one of us was going through in our own way.
Although I remember the hell first; it is now these sweet, smiling photos and the clowning and giggles that force me to remember the glad in the sad.
We did have some fun that day.
And, these photos stir those memories.
Wishing everyone a season of holiday memories that turn the sad into glad, and carry you to the smiles and giggles of comfort and joy!
