Twas the night before Christmas
not your mama's Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas stuck in a hospital room
I thought I d survived 2018, Thats why they say, don’t assume
A sick kid and failed marriage
the first Christmas without mom
Things couldn’t get worse, well guess what, I was wrong
Plans we made have been voided
Things are up in the air
Another night without sleeping sitting up in a chair
How to pay for all this, money doesn’t grow on trees
And the emptiness pushes me down to my knees
I lost true love, loved ones and I can’t find myself
Im so tired, sad and broken life sure has been hell
But I’m hopeful and praying things will turn out alright
I miss scott and mom too on this Christmas eve night
I have to believe things will be as they should-
no one promised things would always be good
But held and forgiven through the trials in life
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night

CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.

I'm sorry neither I nor anyone else could be there for you on that Christmas Eve not so very long ago. But I'm glad you were able to be there for someone else who needed you. As unhappy & unsettling as that night must have been as you endured it, I pray the memory of it will forever warm your heart & reassure you that you are that kind of person who cares for others.
