There comes a time in life when, no matter how hard we try, we simply cannot be where we most want to be. But health is health; money is money, geography and the laws of physics are immutable.
This holiday season I will not be able to be in my own home, but I will see at least some of my children, probably on Christmas Day and several days before then and after.
The holiday period is approaching; it's a tricky time of year, whatever your holiday/religious traditions may be. People are rushing about, buying presents, sending cards, making cookies.
I'm resting, and recovering. I feel stronger each day. This particular Dad won't be home for Christmas this year; but I hope and plan to be around for many more in the years to come.
Happy Holidays, everybody.
