Well, here it is, the first Christmas without Ray in 21 years. I did "ok" and only cried twice. Once while sitting on the couch looking at the tree and decorations and once when I went to the cemetery. A year ago I NEVER (in my wildest dreams) would have thought that I would be visiting Ray at the cemetery the following Christmas. Sometimes it is just so unbelievable. However, all in all, I have done well this season. I was so afraid of it approaching...dreading it. I did it though. I got through it pretty good actually. We'll see how I am doing in 10 days...maybe good.
Not much snow here. I can actually see the grass. Thank God. Went for a walk earlier...baby it's cold outside!
Drew is here with me and he is making dinner for us. We are having "surf and turf." Lobster tail and New York strip steaks. Plus he is making a creamy gyere and shrimp pasta as a SIDE dish. It sounds like a main dish to me. He is very sweet, kind and caring and he has been a waiter all his life. (Does life repeat itself?)
Anyway, Merry Christmas to all...and to all a good night! - Jimmy
