Merry Christmas, David

Dec 24, 2005 14:06

Doug's parents drove up from Texas and our daughter Sarah flew in from her new home in Florida to join us for Christmas. We'll celebrate Christmas Eve with the Garys tonight and Doug's Aunt Annie will join us from Colorado Springs for Christmas. Our biggest celebration is Doug's successful appedectomy Thursday night. He was released from the hospital Friday afternoon and is making a swift recovery.

It's tough to celebrate the holidays without David (also known as "mockery). It does get somewhat easier over time (it's now been 3 1/2 years since his suicide), but it doesn't get easy.

My wish for 2006 is for peace, good health, and happiness throughout the world. If each and every one of us does a little something to make this a better place, it will be.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Holidays,
Mary Wylie
David's (and Sarah's!) mom
