Another year, another Christmas. I’m still here, where are you?
I now need a walker to get around. I tried a cane but I couldn’t get my balance. A walker works just fine.
My Son moved back to Sacramento last year and this year he bought a home. It feels good to have Mike in the same town again. Mike and Greg promise to stay in town as long as I am here.
All my life I have been taught that God never gives you more than what you can handle. I’m afraid he goofed with me. Having a third child show up in my life after separation of 65 years is more than I can handle. I have prayed about it and still have problems accepting him. I’ve been as friendly as I know how but I can’t accept him. I will go on trying to accept him but this is the hardest thing I have ever had to do.
The week before my 85th Birthday Michelle came for a visit. As usual we did 3 jigsaw puzzles. and we had some good conversations. I enjoy having Michelle and Mike come visit. We have some lively conversations.
This is all I have to write about. so I will wish all of you lovely folks A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
BUT MOST OF ALL PLEASE HAVE A SAFE new year.

I agree, treat him as a new friend and get to know him Get to know him. At the present time he is more of a stranger.

it is like making a new friend. It takes TIME. And then it depends on how often you get together as to how much time it takes until you can feel close. I think you are doing better than I expected connecting with this person. The biweekly phone calls are probably helping too. And yet I get what you are saying.
Like I think about my cousin Debbie. I knew her as a kid but then didn't see her for 42 years when I reconnected 5 years ago. A lot has taken place in both of our lives. Seeing her occasionally is gonna take years and years to know one another, to feel chummy. I feel like an outsider when I go visit her. I have attempted to make the best of the 3 visits I have had thus far.
