Christmas Eve

Always an evening full of promise for the day to come, and yet not quite the same sense of anticipation and excitement since the boys have grown up. It's absolutely lovely and so precious that we will all be together on the day (who knows how long this will be the case as partners enter the scene), but I feel like we are in limbo a little between stages of life and I don't quite know how to navigate it. A little sad to leave behind what's gone before, and unsure of how Christmas will be in years to come. Enough navel gazing!! - to be healthy and around to see another Christmas is really all that matters.
