My daughter and I had a quiet Christmas together. We did connect

[madinmaryland]

with my wife (her mother) when my daughter opened her gifts. Thankfully my daughter was home today (with her boyfriend) to share the day with me. My wife is in Florida trying to pack up her mother and bring her up north. Just been a trying time. I'm glad I had family (small as it is), including our furry friends.

6. Just beautiful.

I'm of the belief that these are exactly the kinds of things - and the only things - we take with us when we leave: these sweet little memories that mean so much.

Merry Christmas, madinmaryland, to you and yours.

8. Merry Christmas to you and your family, also.

Yes. We had an interesting day, but we were there for each other.
