Christmas Adjustment
Dec. 22nd, 2016 11:33 amIf you have been by Peter’s website, you know he is in the hospital and they aren’t quite sure exactly what is going on. Part of the puzzle has been solved but there is another piece that just doesn’t fit.
If you haven’t, the short version is that he is in the hospital due to the inability to walk for reasons that are still be sorted out.
This, of course, put a serious spanner in our usual trip to Atlanta, which we were going to follow up to a trip to Jacksonville so all the sisters could meet up and spend some time together.
Right now I am sorting out the next couple of days, which are partially up in the air since we have no idea when Peter will be coming home.
This is the first Christmas I am here for Christmas. In fact this is the first Christmas that I won't be with my parents ever. An over 50 year run is rather good.
Caroline is holding up but she is sad because she won’t be spending the holidays with her family.
We have agreed we need to get a tree even if it is a small one. I have Christmas decorations that we can put on it. There are presents to put under or round the tree. We will eat steak and real baked potatoes. I will listen to annual airing of the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. We will go see a movie on Christmas day.
Bits and pieces to make it Christmas and not just another day here.
I am grateful for everyone’s understanding on this matter.
