Lovely Day
Posted on December 25, 2007
So this was another holiday away from my parents, grandparents and siblings. Everyone else is in the U.S. and we’re in Germany. We had a lovely day with our little family and I honestly don’t have any complaints, but there are little moments when I do get sad and miss their daily/weekly presence in our lives. When I was a little girl my family and I would always sing Walking In a Winter Wonderland around the holidays, we sang it super cheesy and my mom and I would attempt and pretend we were successfully singing harmony. It was always so fun. I didn’t get to sing it this year…and even if I had tried by myself it wouldn’t have been the same. That’s a song I don’t know if I’ll be able to sing without my sweet Mama, at least not for awhile longer. I missed it. I missed it a lot. But it’s okay, I’m okay and I’m loving the little things I do with my own little family! Who knows…maybe in the coming years when Kate is old enough to know Christmas songs she and I will sing an original rendition of our own attempt at a harmonious cheeseball Christmas carol…you just never know.
