Well we survived both Christmas and Anth's birthday without mom. Anth was sick in bed all day on his birthday which I think probably had a lot to do with the state of his mind but I can completely understand.
Christmas Eve was rough for everyone. More than once we all ended up in tears. Mom was such a planner that she had already bought Christmas gifts for everyone before she died. She even had a list on her work computer that said who they all went to. Mammaw wrapped up all of those gifts and just left the from line blank. I did ok until Lillie opened her gift from Mom that we had talked about. I had to leave the room for a while after that one.
Anth and his aunts also picked out the design for Mom's gravestone that night. I was a little upset that I wasn't included in the process but I'll get over it.
Lillie loved Christmas this year. She even got her pink pony that she asked Santa for. I think her favorite gift of the day was her Cabbage Patch doll though. She carried it around all day and even slept with it.
All in all, I'm glad it's over. Now we can get back to living the rest of our life.
