15 years ago, I had all but ridden myself of any attachment to Christmas, then I adopted my son Avan. In for a penny, in for a pound. And it turned out to be fun, especially as I make an outstanding turkey dinner, my favourite part. In the last 5 years I have all but rid myself of the notion of romantic love. Not all love, but the squishy romantic type. Now I read this, tearing up, joyous for you both. The Love Supreme.

Thankyou proxy husband, love comes in many shapes and sizes, and yours came for Christmas and stayed.

It was not so much love for Christmas itself, but the love for my family, and being together. Today, my family is badly fractured, and I don’t see it’s repair on the horizon. And now, I have dreamed new dreams, about new kinds of love, connections, creativity, managing the changes that surely await me on the path ahead. This, I have come to know, is what every life is, or can be, or should be.🙏🏻💜

If we leave the door open, someone can always walk through. Even with family members, sometimes we t takes years but it’s still possible. And kids. Kids are great.
