My darling daughter Tigger was placed with me 2 years ago during the month of December. I'm very enamoured with her and love being her mom. Of course her placement didn't come without a story of loss, all foster children little or big come to their new families with a past loss. I wish nothing but success and happiness for her. Right now, I"m just happy she is 2 years old and enjoying herself this Christmas and loving life. Emotions are a funny thing.
This year, I am in love with a wonderful guy. I just received a delivery of a dozen red roses about 2 hours ago with a note saying simply "I love you, S". That story also begins with a loss. 7 years ago his wife passed away suddenly and tragically. He can miss his late wife and we can still be in love together this Christmas. Emotions are a funny thing.
Here's my Christmas wish.....that we can grow and know that our losses make us who we are, but that our new lives also make us who are too. May they intertwine and not compete with each other. Life is a journey. To the two people I love this Christmas....I love every part of who you both are....the past and the present.

I love this post. You deserve the happiness you are experiencing. I'm glad the losses are being balanced by gains.
