Life changes

Well it has been a while since I have posted, things just got so busy around Christmas as I'm sure it has with most people. Our Christmas was really great, we had a houseful, including grandchildren which was really fun! We had one tragedy which was that our tree fell over and most of my vintage ornaments were smashed. I was so upset I got really teary eyed. My wonderful son helped me clean everything up and gave me a shoulder to cry on. The next day that same wonderful son went to a local antique store and bought me three boxes of vintage ornaments!!! Ladies there is hope for men out there!!! I was amazed at his thoughtfulness. I always knew he was a kind soul but didn't think he would even know where to go to get Christmas ornaments. That same son got a new job in January in a city about an hour from where we live. He is my youngest and it is hard to believe that he will officially be gone from our home. I have been back and forth with my feelings around this event. On one hand I am happy to see him move on with his life but on the other hand it is sad to think he won't be around. I will miss chatting with him about a multitude of subjects or sharing a tv program that we both love. I am putting on a positive face for him and getting excited about his search for a new apartment. I am excited to see what this new year will bring him and happy to be able to continue to be involved in his new life if only from afar.
