Some things going on from some of the authors in my blogroll:
Joshua Claybourn's mom's birthday was Christmas Eve. He remembers her in this post.
My dad's birthday was the 28th, and also came with a bit of sadness, and Christmas was mixed. Feelings of joy and sadness intertwined. We noted the sadness, and then rejoiced in the wonderful expressions in Rebecca's face as she experienced her first Christmas with us.
Jeffrey Collings is engaged. Congratulations!
Susan b. has lost her dog, 13-year old Coco. Susan, may God grant you peace and comfort in your loss. I'm sure you're going over a lot of memories of the last thirteen years and mourning that they've ended so suddenly. Our pets are so special to us.

Thank you for your condolences. Yes, there are so many memories. Pets really do become a member of your family...they give such unconditional love and share in the good times and the bad times. I take comfort in that Coco had a good long life and that she knew how much she was loved.
Happy New Year to you and yours! :-)
