This year I am really laid back about Christmas. I find that I am enjoying it more than I have the past couple of years, maybe I am finally growing up. haha.
The other day, when I was driving home from Lexington, I saw a funeral procession and as I watched the police escort them down the road, and I saw 20 or so cars in line, I lost it.
This was the hardest holiday that I have gone through. And its not that anything was different than it has been the past 2 Christmas' but rather I think I finally really grieved. I miss my grandma so much. It occured to me the other day that yes, she got to see all of her grandchildren turn 18, but she didnt get to see us all married. It hit me hard when I realized that when I get married- if that ever comes around, she wont be there. On my big special day, I wont get to share it with her, petty as it may be, this saddens me greatly.
I guess the long and the short of it, is that this holiday season I really miss my grandma. And theres nothing I can really do about that, other than recognize the sadness, let it happen, and then move on.
So here's to living every day, something I plan to work on more. I dont want to waste another day!
