Well this Christmas is going to suck in the Utah house hold.
Today we primped the house in preparation of having a Christmas party for my hair Salon. Yes I own a hair salon. Don't laugh I really do!
(Actually its my wifes I just paid for it).
After buying 100$ worth of booze and another 100$ on food I was ready to spend the evening with seven lovely ladies...and their husbands.
At six this evening we got a call from my wifes twin sister in Arizona that my father-in-law Clide Greeve has pasted away from cancer.
Well we canceled the party and made plans for my wife to fly out to Arizona tomorrow morning. I have to stay here and run the shop and try to do my own job till the funeral.
The saddest part is seeing the seasons joy just drain out of my wifes eyes at this news. There are no words that I can say to make the pain go away, no gesture, nor Christmas gift to bring that joy back to her eyes.
This Christmas is a bust here in my house.
As I sit here wondering why I am writing this to you all...I wish to convey my feeling of loss and hope that this message will remind each of you that Christmas is not the giving and receiving of gifts, that fancy party's that you will throw or attend...
But it is the celebration of the birth of our savor Jesus Christ.
Cherish this for that reason alone.
And cherish those around you.
