The Highs And Lows Of Christmas Merry Christmas to all of you out there! I wish I could feel the warmth of Jesus' arrival this year as I usually do, but unfortunately this year has been all different. Yesterday we Europeans were celebrating Christmas Eve, so I called up my parents. Sadly, my wishes did not sit too well with my mother but aggravated her more than anything. Distraught I went on to surprise a sweet old family friend who's always been like a second grandma to me. She was crying with joy when she heard my voice. I had quite obviously just made her day as she was sitting all alone thousands of miles away in her small room. Then I tried to get a hold of my father but could only leave a voice message on his cell phone. Later I messaged a friend in Austria and had to learn that a dear colleague of ours had just been buried after having committed suicide. What an incredible shock! God bless her sweet but tormented soul! Another positive thing happened though which I shall always remember. A fan and friend of ours stopped by in all the hustle and bustle between celebrating Christmas with her family and leaving for Florida today. She pulled in to deliver a box of fine chocolates and to wish us a Merry Christmas. How sweet of her! Thank God, at last I had a chance to talk to both my sisters on Skype and on Facebook. Regardless of all that had been going on all day long, yesterday did indeed end on a rather positive note with my husband cooking one of the best turkeys for me ever. Thanks my love! - Today started off in a quite neutral manner until I turned on my cell and received another heartbreaking message. This time my youngest sister was the bearer of bad news. Another sweet friend had finally lost her battle against cancer only hours before. Again I'm feeling completely devastated! Forgotten though is suddenly that stupid altercation I had with my mum just 30 hours ago. It is just not worth it arguing about past things that can impossibly be changed anymore! Listen, get together today, and tell your loved ones that you love them and how much you care! Only a few weeks back another dear friend departed from this plane much too soon leaving a huge void in the lives of his deeply grieving family. Just put aside al those trivial differences and show your unconditional love and support instead to all those you really care for because tomorrows are never promised, and you certainly don't want to be too late. - MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone! May love and peace prevail today!
