I keep comparing myself to our grandma...What did she look like at age 71? How old was she when I did her Christmas decorating for her?...wrapping the gifts...buying the gifts? How did she feel when it was ME making the meatballs?
It must have been hard to let go of making the meatballs.. or maybe super satisfying that she’d passed it down to such competent hands. Meatball-stress is a real thing.
Lovely Eliza! This time of the year is a mix of grief (my mom passed away far too young 10 days before Christmas) and celebration (of love with our extended family of dear friends). The known and familiar is very comforting in these times, a nice ritual. Enjoy the season!
especially love "Grief is Time’s bedmate". So true.
Merry Christmas. Love the Santa
