December 9, 2018

Nothing has really happened since I last wrote. Mom got into town yesterday. She'll be staying for about three weeks, let's see how that goes.
So, the real reason I am writing, besides the fact that I said I will every weekend... December 7th had been a hard day for me, for person reasons, since 2009. Well, this past December 7th, has shown me how strong I have gotten. For those of you that know why, you know how tough it has been for me to leave my house that day. Not only did I go to work the whole day, I went to the store. By myself!! For those that don't know what happened, you can always ask. It only took nine years, but I am finally able to say that he is no longer winning. He no longer has any hold on me. I couldn't be more proud of myself. I'm sure that some of you can figure out what happened that day, now.
Amelia saw Santa Claus again this weekend. She was so excited. She did this little happy dance and everything. She did not want to leave him. It's all she keeps asking me about today. "Mommy, can we see Santa again?" She keeps looking at the pictures of her, too. She loves it so much.
