family

family is a wonderful thing
i was almost stunned last night
my bro, sis-in-law and their family went to canada over christmas to visit her sister
and so we put off our family christmas gathering until they came back
last evening then, we had our family christmas
and sis-in-law made the comment, that now it feels like christmas since we were all together
which surprised me
i didnt realize that she felt that way, abt the family she married into
i knew i felt that way, that it just wasnt christmas yet
but i had thot it was justme and my loneliness expressing itself.
