This will be my first Christmas (alone). I have my daughter and we will be visiting with my sister and her family, but alone, with no significant other. This is very sad and strange for me, I just don't have anything to give, and no one to give it to this year. It's been a very rough year full of changes and stressful events. I will attend mass alone on Christmas eve, and give thanks, but inside I am dying, I am tired of being strong, tired of having to fight for everything, tired of putting on the "Happy Face"
tired of the unknown, and dealing with everything on my own. Life is hard right now. I know it will get better, just not fast enough in my time. I'll keep keeping on, I didn't come here to cry. Christmas will come and I am grateful for my daughter, she is the reason I am celebrating.
