[quote=Anonymous]My mom lost a child on Dec 22nd. The biggest gift she gave me and my siblings is "powering through" and keeping the season joyful. I never understood what a HUGE gift and the magnitude of that selfless decision until I myself was a mom. I can remember her singing carols, making cookies, sewing costumes for our Christmas show, she always had an open house for her book club, etc etc. I cannot imagine how she did that. It really inspires me and empowers me to do it up right, because if my mom can, I damn well can! I turn on that music, I make those cookies, I wrap brightly with huge bows, etc etc. No bad day at work or financial burden I am experiencing will stop me! I asked her about it once and she said "I just cried in the car a lot." We could have never ever celebrated Christmas and everyone would have understood but she never did that to us. [/quote]
