Hope Blossoms

It is Christmas Eve! 

I'm mainly just excited to watch my little cousins open presents and see their excitement! It's funny how things change,

it's also funny how things stay the same. 

Liana is making the Christmas lasagna, something that Aunt Teresa made every year. We are still going to eat the lasagna. Even though she isn't here to make it.

Things are good, because Christmas takes away those thoughts that things might be bad.

I'm still enjoying being home, but I am excited for the future (again). I have this hope that is blossoming in my heart that things will be better when I go back. That flower gets bigger each and every day.
