Christmas Without Grandma

A family dinner?
Dec 23, 2013
2 days before xmas. Until an hour ago everyone was spending xmas alone. Now after a plea to my Aunt we will have a family xmas like Grandma wanted. When the messages started to pour in that they were coming I cried.
Our first xmas without Grandma. We are all feeling it. We miss her more, not less as time passes. As matriarch of this family she kept us together. Now she is gone and the first thing we do is plan xmas apart, alone from each other.
So far, Mom, Brian, Aunt Donna, Donovan, Uncle Lloyd, the kids and myself will have dinner together. Maybe, just maybe we will see Joline and Aunt Val too. Grandma is gone but we need each other, we need to stay together.
