Christmas

So last night i get home and there is a letter from alex's boss and i read it and wow. It really touched me.

It talks about his meaning of Christmas. In the letter he states his mother has Alzheimers and that she is about ready to transition into the next life. It goes on to say that his brothers can't go see her for the holidays in general because its too hard for them. And that he is the only one who goes to spend his holidays with his mother. This past thanksgiving he was there with her and he was brushing her hair and she would just smile at him and just be with her even if she doesn't remember who he is, that smile grounds him. His point was that he appreciates everything around him. Those moments with his mother, the smile and everything else in life. He doesnt sweat the small stuff, and often times we can forget that.

After reading this I felt very humble. Lately things have been one extreme or the other and I have stressed more than I should have. I take too many things for granted when I try not to. Its been one extreme or the next, Im broke, yet I have a roof over my head. I have food in my belly and shoes on my feet and gas in my car.

Its time to take some time and enjoy whats around me. Enjoy my family, my cousins and their beautiful kids, my Grandma and Granpas smiles and hugs. My Brother and Virginia, My Sister, My Mother, Alex and Max. hehe.. good ole Max, my other best friend. My best friends and everyone who is here and for those who aren't. I couldnt have a better life right now. God has been good, and I am thankful and I will enjoy this Christmas and eat and be Merry. Just how it should be.

Merry Chrismas all :) I love you
