Hi Sweet Melanie,
I hear you on the short of money for Christmas. It's going to be a slim year for so many people but it still doesn't make it easier does it. We are doing just a little bit for the kids this year, I hope they can deal with it.
I suppose the one thing that keeps me somewhat sane is knowing that we are all going to be together this year for Christmas. The boys spend every other year with us for the holidays. It's hard not having them when we have them all the rest of the time and then they leave for a holiday and I sit here alone. I just hate it. They weren't here for Thanksgiving and I really miss them.
Don't feel so bad dear. We have to make the best of things all the time with our physical pain and then when it's emotional, like Christmas, it makes our lives even more difficult. Don't judge yourself so harshly, you have always done your very best and nobody can ask for more. You are so treasured here and even if there is just one gift it means so much to the heart just to share your love. I know it's hard to not be able to do something that you really want to but because of the circumstances your hands are tied. But remember it's not your fault and you didn't do anything to make the situation as tough as it is.
Take care and think of the reason for Christmas. Things will get better as each day unfolds just look for the beauty.
Love, Summer
