Now this is a great picture of Eddy and his girls.
Well all that build up to the big day(Christmas )is here and gone. I said Christmas blues because we plan,shop, decorate and anticipate what we will do for that special day. We get all wrapped up in all the business of everything and forget why we celebrate Christmas . This particular day is not for us but everyone thinks it is.This day is not our birthday. I just hope that all of us remember even if it is for a brief moment why we celebrate this particular day.
This Christmas was small but special. Years past we would go to Miami and celebrate with Eddy's family. They would celebrate Christmas Eve (Noche Buena). my brother -in -law Kiki would roast a pig and everyone was there. Eddy has one sister and three brothers. Needless to say it was a big crowd with all the extended family. This year it was quiet we had Nicole and Tasha,Daniel and Oscar(Daniel's brother). We had a nice dinner(obviously I didn't cook it) and afterwards we went to the movies. It was wonderful.I know one day we won't be able to be all together so I will cherish these times.
I know how my mom feels. It would make her so happy for everyone of us to be together. Stephen (oldest brother)lives in Newport R.I. (hometown)Jodi, lives in Ohio and Anthony lives in Mississippi. The last time we were all together was at my daddy's funeral(that is sad). I wish my sister and brothers could get together more often. Maybe one day and hopefully sooner than later.
Tasha is about ready to have her baby. She is starting to show signs but I just hope she will wait until I have her baby shower. I am really excited. This is my first grand baby and I want Tasha to have a great experience and remember every little detail. Nikki on the other hand is in denial. I think when she is showing more she will accept the fact she too is going to have a baby.I am excited to have Nikki home.She is moving back home after her baby shower.We will be able to help Nikki and just be there for her like we were for Tasha. This will be like when I had the girls but, I don't have to take care of them 24/7 but I will gladly help when they let me.
I am looking forward to 2010.I have two beautiful girls and they will bless us with two beautiful or should I say handsome babies. I know we will have many challenges along the way but this is what it is all about. Being there for one another when they need you. When you become a parent you never stop regardless if they are 18 or 35. I know when I was younger I gave my mom and daddy a hard time but whatever I did they always let me know how much I was loved and that no matter what we could get through it together. Unconditional love. My dad is gone now but my mother continues to show her love for us in every way she possibly can. This I want to pass on to my girls and now grand sons. I love my family and I thank God daily . I hope everyone has a wonderful 2010. Cherish and love your family
they are all you have!!!Blessings, Maureen(Gigi)
