This Christmas Eve went beyond anything planned. In the morning I cried out when I first woke up reading that my mother had started to have a shocking stomach upset at night. The first thought was that now we should experience what is (canceled) Christmas for a lonely person. I went to Prisma, from there every box of chocolates ran out. Every. I went to Citymarket. Practically the same situation. I left broken.
While jogging with the oven, the phone rings. My lovely brother’s wife called to see if I would at least eat them so I didn’t have to be alone on Christmas Eve. Alma would get involved.
After that, my dad called, said he was bringing Christmas food and asked if I wanted something special. I couldn’t hope for anything like a gravy salmon and “a little Christmas stuff”. I got a handful of insane Christmas treats.
At the same time I got a message about the schedules from my brother’s wife, a friend of my neighbor asked me for them to eat and even spend the whole day. “You’re very welcome, and so are the dogs,” the message read.
Another message invited me to play board games in the community, which I promised later.
Heat spread to the heart. I was not left alone. I have a wonderful, warm circle around me. Just the right one for me and especially dear to me. Friends also asked and cared all day about how my Christmas was going after the changes came suddenly.
I also witnessed today a very special relationship between an animal and a human being when Alma chose a credit friend for himself. In addition, Alma also got animal companions.
When I got home, I was hanging a Christmas package with a long T-shirt I had been dreaming of for a long time, as well as chocolate and gingerbread.
I want to say thank you so much to all of you for making my Christmas and being so loving and caring close and forth. I'm lucky to have you.
I have my own Christmas present on myself. I’m not a bathrobe person at all, but right now this is a real jesus in the yard with Alma standing in my nightgown.
New acquaintances
