I looked over posts I wrote last year. This time last year, I was wondering/guessing what I was getting for Christmas, I was busy wrapping presents, I was making sure that my cousins didn't eat all the candy canes on the tree (just yet). Well that is all in the past. This year, we have no tree, I personally did not buy any presents, and the only presents I wrapped were as a favor to a friend. All of this, and yet this might possibly be one of my favorite Christmas' ever.
This year, I have so much to be thankful for, I appreciate so much more, and although there is no tree to gather around, there is a man, my grandfather. Earlier this month my family and I were scared beyond belief. There was a point where we all feared the worst but desperately hoped for the best. We had no idea what was wrong, no idea what was to happen next.
I'm happy to report that after nearly two weeks in the hospital, and a heart procedure later, my grandpa is doing great. He may not be 100% yet, but he is on the road to recovery. He is our gift this year, and I don't think I could have asked for anything better.
Merry Christmas to all, I hope you are equally fortunate :)
