Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Okay, just say it.
Good morning, Oz. 


Last night the group was gathered in our bedroom for the dispersal of presents - it's the biggest room in our little house, and we put up the tree there.  We are chattering away, poking fun and laughing as the Princess plays 'mistress of ceremonies' handing out the presents.  When a girl friend of our grand daughter (she is from California, parents divorced, semi estranged from her parents) starts gently sobbing.  She had been invited to spend the holidays with my daughter's family because she did not want to go 'home'.  We started comforting her, and she said, "I'm okay.  You all are just showing me what a family should be like."  This really touched me as both the Princess and I grew up in dysfunctional homes.  Not saying that we are 'functional', but everyone here knows that they belong and are loved.  Hold your loved ones close and never miss an opportunity to let them know that they matter.  When they all left she hugged the Princess and me she said, "You have no idea how much this has meant to me."
Best Christmas present of all.
 
A book I got for Christmas, I think I'm going to love it.
