Soooo... I just got a phone call from the hubs and his first words were Are you sitting down, are you ready for this. Im thinking bad thoughts at first, like OMG what could go wrong now, what happened, but nope surprisingly it was good news. Well looks like were going to have visitors for the holidays. My brother is driving from Kentucky, and they will be here Friday. They were gonna surprise us last minute, but thankfully they let us know a few days ahead. Im thinking to myself, yes thankfully a few day notice because Ive still got tons of baking and gift wrapping to do and I havent even started! Ive got pies to make and cookies to bake. Thats my job for this year and at my moms household they are taking care of the Christmas dinner. So folks, we are actually going to have company for this Christmas! Its a miracle! Really, it is.. Kinda last minute notice, but thats alright. We never get visitors or company for the holidays and/or EVER for that matter, so it will be nice to have my husbands brother here and his fiancé. Usually we try to go up north to see my side of the family for the holidays, but with all the things medically going on with the kiddos and also financially, we just couldnt do it this year. I do feel kinda bad because my father lost his mom (my grandma) recently and hes gonna be alone on the holidays and this is gonna be a hard time for him. Ill just keep him in my prayers and thoughts as always around this time. I hope he can find some joy in this holiday season even though hes been struggling with the loss of his mom recently. Im very close with my father and was very close to my grandma and its just an all around sadness this year. We have had many passings in the family this year as well as over the recent years. My grandma, (my fathers dad) my aunt, my other aunt and my husbands mother who tragically passed away in a car accident a few years ago, so the holidays are really tough on my husband as well and Im so happy for both of them (brothers) that they can spend time together during these holidays. Hopefully they can find joy, peace and comfort from being surrounded by each other. That will be nice. The husband is pretty excited to see his brother, its been about 2 years so hes thrilled. Happy for him. His brother is totally understanding and so accepting of our children so it doesnt make it an uncomfortable feeling, which is great. You know how some of the relatives can be so this is a blessing that its with people who are caring and understanding and dont judge by no means. It wont be stressful and overwhelming and the fact that someone is actually coming to see us for a change and we dont have to pile everyone up for a 10 hour road trip. So nice.. Folks, If you have lost someone close to you, may peace be with you during this time and I will be thinking of you and your loved ones during the holidays. 💚🎄🎅❤️
