So I spent the beginning of Thanksgiving week out on the beach at the Sirata with BC. It was a nice few days and while the weather itself was a bit chilly with the wind and all, the stay was great. We had an ocean view balcony which was protected from the wind and got the warmth of the afternoon sun. It made afternoon cocktails on the balcony very pleasant. We spent time walking on the beach, sitting on the balcony, sitting at the hotel bar and chatting with out of towners. It was a nice break from reality. We cam back to my house Thanksgiving morning and I spent the better part of the day cooking. My mother came over and of course Peter was there as well. It was a quiet holiday which was fine by me.
Which brings me to the rest of the holiday season.....so it is in full swing and I still don't know what to feel. The last two Christmas's were low in spirit and could have passed me by without me caring. I managed a tree last year, but that was mostly for Peter. This year my brothers will be in town and I will be forced to join in merriment. I guess I can root around and see if the Spirit of the Season is ready to envelop me or if it will still just be an effort to make it through. Maybe BC and I can find it together.

S,
Having family and friends around during the holidays should make this year easier than the last two.
It sounds like BC is a great guy and has entered your life at the right time to heal those raw wounds.
I have finally fogiven Tim for leaving me out on a limb alone when Pete died. He called me about a month ago to apologize. The time was right, I wouldn't have been able to accept his apology any sooner than I did.
The time is right for you too. BC and your family will make this a very special Christmas, one where you can celebrate the past and look forward to the future.
