Family Ties

My dad and his girlfriend came to town for Christmas. They leave on Tuesday morning and it always comes too soon. I've realized being around them that there doesn't need to be constant conversation all of the time. Just having them in my presence and in the same room as me makes me feel better about things. Not that I have anything to be worked up about, but they keep my comfort level steady....HAHAHAHA!!! I'm so unbelievably glad they were able to make it for Christmas. It was weird and extremely sad not having my mom here for the first Christmas ever, but I think that is part of growing up. And I know she was thinking about me. My dad and his girlfriend have done more for me than I could ever imagine. And having them here on Christmas made me appreciate them all over again. Thanks!!
