I love my man! We have ‘grown up’ together, and lived more than half our lives together.
For today, I will leave it at that because I have a Christmas ditty to share.
Last night at my grief seminar, they talked about family traditions and taking the time to re-evaluate what we do at Christmas time.
This afternoon I applied this by talking to the boys about what they really love to do at Christmas. Our youngest loved cookies, our five year old said stockings and our oldest said ‘tree’. I asked what he meant. He said that he would like to have a tree and decorate it.
In previous years, we would drive out of town to a family tree farm, have a play in the snow, some hot chocolate and cut down a tree. I ask the boys if they wanted to go to the tree farm and they emphatically yelled, “No!”. They just wanted a tree.
No commercial break here, as in steps our hero…. My man is driving home from work, we call him and ask him on speaker phone, “Dada, can you bring us a Christmas tree?” No questions asked he says, “I will do my best!”
Only thirty minutes later, Sexy Neck shows up like this:

All with his tie and work clothes still on.
Creating blessed family traditions.
One unexpected day at a time.
With my hardworking, flexible man.
And what a man he is!
