Today was so perfect: my pain was low, I had snuggles with my best guy, surprises for the kids, time spent talking, laughing and playing games with family, watching Christmas movies and eating gourmet corn dogs, tucking happy kids into bed and finishing off the day quietly reading in a room lit by Christmas lights.

My emotions are high as a kite; I'm filled with peace, love, thankfulness and joy. It won't last forever but I'll take it while I can get it.

Merry, Merry Christmas!
