December 4th

Before I share today's Advent Adventure with you, I first want to share my mood. This morning a cloud of sadness hangs over me, it started yesterday. I know exactly what triggered it and I also know that it will pass. That is something I have learnt over the last six and a half months, that I will have days when the tears seem endless and the pain of loss is sharp, but those days don't last forever. There will be days when a photo of a puppy with blue eyes and an almost quizzical expression will make me smile and not make me sad. Today I miss Tall.

Meanwhile Christmas preparations continue. 

Billy insisted we start wrapping the presents.
