I hate the Christmas Shoes song, but it may be because it makes me cry too.Megan Goateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406779518126701920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-542419411538614257.post-80256286539241579452014-12-25T19:37:04.368-07:002014-12-25T19:37:04.368-07:00I hate that song because it reminds me of the futu...I hate that song because it reminds me of the future I live by ignoring is there, the day when we spend Christmas without Lily. We're teetering on the verge of hospital and home like we always do this time of year, but home is winning. <br /><br />I won't lie, it sucked to have her wake up sick today. She started the conscious part of Christmas vomiting. After we switched her to clears, she's been fine but not herself.<br /><br />And yet Christmas was still magical.<br /><br />Lorelei was excited to open her present from me even though it was "just clothes". She didn't care that it was a practical gift. She loved that it was thoughtful (and was later surprised when the second part of the present was matching clothes for her doll).<br /><br />Lily was still fascinated with the little light up toys from her stocking.<br /><br />Their dad still got a little misty eyed reading the notes accompanying their presents to him.<br /><br />And I still had time stand still as Lily's precious little hands reached out for mine, preferring them over any toy.<br /><br />Christmas is still magic. Health is a bonus blessing, but certainly not the only one.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15436643238936392100noreply@blogger.com
