Christmas Nears

Its Christmas tomorrow, the tree and lights are up. Vienna loves discovering different ornaments each time she looks at the tree. Her new words include “Christmas”, “Santa”, and “Snowman”.

Unfair Losses

I’ve been thinking about unfair losses lately. Sadly, a close friend’s little brother died, early twenties and a bright future ahead of him, totally not fair, for him, my friend, his parents and everyone who knew him and those who will miss that opportunity.
