Well, MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my sisters! I love you all! I went to see Mom and Dad today---well, technically it was yesterday---gosh, I'm still up at nearly 2:00! I'll be wiped out today--tomorrow, whatever!!!!!!!!! They were ok. Dad was just getting up and was kind of groggy at first, but he read your card, Jamie, and said how nice it was. He opened his presents and kept saying it's just what he needed, etc. Mom was out in the commons area and sleeping in her chair. I went out there after Dad opened his presents to let her open hers, and she was good. She loved the bright red of the throw and wouldn't put it down. She kept saying is this yours, and I'd say no it's yours. She'd give that surprised face and just smile. She carried your card around for the longest time and even carried it to lunch! I told her it was from you and she said something about you would. Anyway, they were ok. I had a really hard time and told Judy I nearly lost it a half a dozen times. It was so touching and sad and everything all at the same time. I was so glad that Dad got to talk to Jamie. He made a lot of sense on this end---I couldn't hear what Jamie was saying. Anyway, I hope Jamie that it all works out like you want. I know that this has been a hard year on all of us. We've managed to make it through the holidays---I knew they'd be tough. I want us to all get together and spend some time together this coming year. We've got to plan some sister times---period!!! Ok, I've got to go to bed. The fam will be here in about 5 hours for breakfast! LOL! Keep the faith sisters---our lives ARE good. We can't forget that ever. I love ALL my family---those near and far, big and small, old and young. How blessed is THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!! Love you all, Jeanie
