Christmas... and tears

I'm feeling a little teary and my tummy is sore and my nose is leaking. In 2 days we say goodbye to family and hello to a new life. I am so excited for the new journey, but my family is so important to me! I am the eldest of 4 children, the almost oldest cousin and niece and in 2 days I say goodbye to them.

It was the loveliest Christmas I have experienced in a very long time. It was free from worry and stress and the Grinch was not so grinchy. The Christmas tree was the prettiest I remember it being. There weren't as many presents, but there was so much love. I missed my sister and her little family sooooo much! We were thankful. It was a sweet spot, a safe place and my tummy is getting more sore as I write this. And I'm battling to see the screen as the tears pour down...and my nose is leaking...

I am privileged and excited and I am nervous. And the littlies are a bit unsettled. Our God is most faithful, most loving, most beautiful and I know He knows.
