The cards all need to be finished and mailed out tonight
I waited so long, I am right at the wire
All these task on my to-do list. I am getting so tired
Overall, this past year has not been all that bad
I’ve been working my way through all that was sad
The loss and the grief, my recovery has been okay
I guess right now, that is all I am going to say
Steven’s still home with John, he’s a great stay at home dad
Every night John asks if “I go work in morning” and that makes me sad
I’m still working at xxxxxx; they treat us all really well
Our set up works for us, it’s good, John is thriving I can tell
John has been to see the Roughnecks and also the Flames
We have been fortunate to get tickets to a couple of games
It’s not all fun and games in our house, dad has taught the ABC’s
And counting and manners, he knows thank you and please
For the past couple years, we’ve talked about camping and tenting
We’ve looked into trailers and RV’s, the facts on buying or renting
Steven has wanted to sit by a fire with beer
and show John & Riley some wildlife like deer
We rented a cabin for a long weekend in May
The peace & quiet was a theme for our stay
And then this past summer, we rented a house in Canmore
Three decks and a hot tub, it was all you could ask for
Cindy, Dawna and Whitey joined us four for a week
It was nice for all of us to be together and speak
Later in summer, Steven & I went to New York
I had some meeting with xxxxx but it was not all work
The theatre, the subway, Times Square and the shops
The Statue, Ellis Island, Chinatown…it was five days non-stop.
It has been a whole year since my dad passed away
And for my mom it has been two years, 1 week and a day
At times, it just seems like a lifetime has gone by
Yet at other times it feels like a blink of an eye
These past couple of years have taught me a lot
All the good things in your life just cannot be bought
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
