I had a very warm and spiritual holiday--I spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with my wife and daughter. My kid was sick so we all stayed in the house, my wife made a very nice meal, and we watched our daughter open up her presents--a microscope, a chemistry set, millions of other things
, and the beat went on.
Christmas Eve was very nice in another way. Although my daughter had a fever, we decided to put her into my wife's bed and she began reading to me. Without thinking, I went beside her and got comfortable and my wife began reading a book and rested her head on my bare feet
What was nice was that, although my wife and I are separated, I felt a sense of family closeness that had been absent for many, many months. I think that we all felt that way. After about a half hour, I sensed that it was time for me to leave her room, although I wasn't asked to. I went to bed that night, thinking about a better New Year and how special it was to have my family for the holiday. I am truly blessed.
I hope everyone had a nice Holiday, too.
