Christmas Time Without You

I have been told by several people to write a letter to my best friend, telling her how I feel. Then I am supposed to attach the letter to a balloon and let it go. Normally I would think about this for a few moments and proceed with the direction I’ve been given. The only thing is, I don’t want to send that balloon somewhere and have it come down in someone’s yard. So I decided to write here at DivineCaroline. So here it goes.

Dear Tina,

Today as I sat in my office at work, I had a thought. I wonder what Tina’s doing today? Then I remembered, she’s not doing much of anything. Friend, I really truly miss you. I try to talk to John and Spencer at least once a week, but with our busy schedules it sometimes doesn’t happen that way. We are trying to move on, some of us are having better luck with it than others. You would be so proud of John, the way he is handling things and taking care of Spencer. Ya know he is working two full-time jobs? WOW! If only you could have stayed just a little longer to see what was going to happen. Friend in the past Christmas was hard because of losing my mom on Christmas Day. It’s even harder without you. Sounds stupid right, because you don’t believe that anyone could love or miss a person like you. Well get over yourself, I do and so does everyone else. I didn’t go to Washington this year for Thanksgiving, because I just couldn’t do it. So I took the usual time off for our traditional Thanksgiving and spent it with my family here. I even went and cut my hair, short and flippy. I sent John a picture and he said it looked great. It just wasn’t the same as sharing it with you. I know that they say time heals all wounds, God needs to hurry up and heal this one because it hurts like hell. I do have some good news, I started back to school. I told you earlier this year that I was going back to school this year. Well I now work five days a week and school on Saturdays. Let’s just say I am a little busy for the next six months. As usual Shaun isn’t supportive, but hey you already could have guessed that.
