We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Paul, George and I spent Christmas Eve with my parents in Pottsville. George delighted my parents and brother with his Italian grandmother's 'bird's nest' for breakfast on Christmas Eve morning. We spent the day relaxing, playing games on our iPads, eating, drinking, and opening gifts.  It was a quiet day spent with family.


Just like we did for Thanksgiving, we had Christmas Day dinner at Calvary Homes with Pap pap.  Unfortunately, I think his dementia is getting worse. The mischievous gleam that was ever present in his eyes for as long as I can remember, has diminished and in its place, is a blank stare that makes me sad beyond words.  I miss him terribly and yet, he is still here, sitting with us at dinner. I guess this is what they call the 'long good-bye'...

George and Paul...concentration is key...!

Slow and steady wins the race...

My turn to play!

Being silly!
