But when my working dog, Bo, died 2 years ago during the holidays I was crushed. I'd lost friends and family before, but this hurt in new ways. We don't have kids, unfortunately, so my dog was my child. Well, I wasn't doing well with the sadness and our house seemed empty, desolate. So Rob insisted I get out of bed and go with him to pick out a puppy. I still cry for Bo sometimes, but Tucker the puppy (he just turned 2) has been such a joyful experience he taught me to believe in miracles again. I learned the heart is tender, can be hurt when you love someone deeply (human or not), but can also heal. Thanks, Rob!editordevil.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06288986372377855628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420257820615141580.post-78519590162717013242013-12-10T10:33:01.784-08:002013-12-10T10:33:01.784-08:00I love Christmas and don't need presents, but ...I love Christmas and don't need presents, but my sister remembers that in our childhood my favorite were a whole bunch of little accessory-type presents and she still sends me gloves, necklaces, hats, scarves, cute socks, skirts and I'm always so thrilled to open the pile of things she sends me. <br />This year for Christmas I'm giving my 11 year old daughter tickets to Imagine Dragons (a rock band she LOVES!) and I' can't wait to see her face. Giving is the best. <br />Great post, BTW.

Lovely post, and yo...Sorry I'm late chiming in. Lovely post, and your book sounds wonderful. I have been so blessed and had so many wonderful gifts in my life. Materialistically, I couldn't say for sure, but I would imagine it was something to do with Elvis Presley. :) Although, a few years ago, my best friend of 40 years bought us Bob Seger tickets for Christmas, and we'd wanted to see him for 40 years, LOL. So that was a pretty great gift. But, the best one of all was the birth of my son. (His name is Presley, BTW), and he'll be 21 December 11th. He is such a loving, precious kid. He's grown into an amazing young man, and I couldn't have crafted a better son if God had allowed me to create him myself.

I explained to her that Santa couldn't bring her that gift. In the Spring of the following year she hugged me and said "You have a baby in there." We didn't think I could have any more children so we were truly shocked to discover she was right. Her baby brother was born on Dec 30th. He will be 16 at the end of this month. Whenever he annoys her I remind her that she asked Santa for him :)<br /> Marcia Welkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8420257820615141580.post-3419499990339030422013-12-05T15:19:18.997-08:002013-12-05T15:19:18.997-08:00There are so many wonderful Christmases that come ...There are so many wonderful Christmases that come to mind, but the most memorable is the year that my mom passed two days before Christmas. She had already gotten my children their presents and had them under the tree. So we had a somber Christmas but one that was light for the children.<br /><br />Melissa<br />daringzoey at yahoo.comMelissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.com
