CHRISTMAS 2008

This article is about Christmas 2008. On Christmas morning I woke up at 5:30am because I couldn’t sleep. Greg came to help me get ready for the day. Then I was wrapping gifts and listening to Christmas music. Phil and Philip came to get me to go to their house for Christmas. When I got there I met their family and they were so nice. I gave them their gifts and they gave me gifts. Even though I appreciate the gifts that they got me they really shouldn’t have. I met one guy and he yelled “HELLO NICE TOO MEET YOU”. When he left the room Philip say Scott “I think he thinks you are deaf”. Brittany, Phillip and I laugh. For the rest of the night we were playing deaf and kept saying what, what. Who can forget when Brittany thought I was 35 years old? (HAHA) That was the best!!! The food was great and Phil and Lisa did amazing job with everything. Then we all played a game where everyone has to pick a number out of a hat and then you can pick a gift and you can keep it or you can trade it. The game was so much fun. I don’t know if anyone notice but after the game I got depress and sad because I knew that the day was coming to an end. This was the best Christmas I had since my passed away in 1999. When Phil and Philip drove me back to college we talked about things and it really open my eyes. Then Phil and Philip helped me around my room. When Phil and Philip left to go home I couldn’t help but too cried because I had a great day and it was over. That may sound selfish but I really enjoyed being with friends who cares about me for me. Another reason why I cried because I know it’s going to be long time before I have interacted like that again.

Thoughts for the Holidays

If you lost somebody this year you asked yourself "why me?", "why did he or she passed away?", "what should i do now?", where do I go from here. you may think it's not ok to enjoy the holidays but it really is. Enjoying the holidays doesn't mean you forgot about them or that you love them any less. I know this because this holiday season is going to be hard for me because this is the first holiday season without my grand mother. My grand mother passed away Friday June 20, 2008. Now since my grandmother passed away my life feels empty. I hope everyone has a great and a safe holiday season. RIP MOM WEDNESDAY APRIL 14, 1999. .RIP NANA FRIDAY JUNE 20, 2008
