Saturday my sister and her family came of to visit Bo before his surgery. Though not yet scheduled, it is all but certain that it will happen this coming week. In light of the diagnosis, I’ve not felt much felt like getting into the holiday spirit. With the arrival of my two nieces and nephews (all under the age of 7) they did the best job of bringing holiday cheer to my home.
Bo tagged along for the tree purchase from the corner vendor and he lied patiently in wait as the lights and ornaments area all hung. It was really nice to enjoy my family’s company, as chaotic as it can something be. The reality of what lies ahead was forgotten for an afternoon filled with love and laughter.
Sunday was a bonding fest mixed with naps, snacks and football. I love hunkering down at home on cold snowy days cuddling up to my “oso feroz”, spanish for ferocious beast.
