Dear Mom.......... Christmas

Dear Mom......  I thought last Christmas was the worst there could be.  Me in the hospital for 6 weeks unable to walk and you stuck in that damn nursing home while I was unable to care for you.  And our dogs in more hours a day than they should ever be :-(   But this year.....  this year is almost unbearable without you.  I want to buy you a gift, watch your smile grow as you open it and watch you beam when you see what it is.  I love you mom and I really miss you right now.  I don't care if I have no one around me for Christmas, but not having you is so hard.
