The Best Christmas Card I Ever Got !

There are moments in the struggle of being a single Mom that are so precious that they can never be forgotten and will always be cherished. Just wanted to share a hand-made Christmas card I received from my youngest son Aaron many years ago- definitely one such moment...

The front was simple...just "Merry Christmas".

But what was inside was a poem my son had written and one of the greatest gifts I have received...

Just in case you can't read from the image...it says:

When I was young

You made sure songs of Nat King Cole were sung,

The tree was well decorated,

And I was well loved,

Everything I wanted you found a way to get,

I think because you loved to see

My eyes happily lit,

Now that I’m older that same love is true

You constantly keep giving

Though there’s no gift for you,

When I can change that believe I will,

So you can feel my love,

As yours I feel

But until then you will have to settle for my love,

Which will stay as pure

And as flightful as a heaven bound dove.

Love,

Aaron Young

Aaron is 27 years old now, married and a Sergeant in the USAF...as YES he still loves his Mama.

Here's wishing you a memorable Holiday season!

Stay Creative!

Christmas Past...

Well, Christmas is over. I survived without my children (who live in other states with their own families and situations). I was happy to be able to talk to both of them on Christmas.

My Etsy shop will open on January 1st...I am so excited! Time to get busy to make sure my creations are ready to go!

Don't worry...I will take some time for reflection before 2008 is just a memory.
