There was some drama with my Aunt's ex in laws in the beginning of the month, it included down talking my family, trying to get my little cousin put into foster care, lying about what others were saying and trying to get my aunt kicked out of her home. Sounds awesome right? Yeah not so much but it's ok now. Our family has been overcome by addiction by several people. It's been years since we actually had a family event where everyone was sober or not talking about where they were getting their next fix. I know what a family huh? Well a few months ago one of my Aunts started a treatment plan to get clean. Yay!! After what happened this month with my other Aunts ex in laws and the threat of losing my cousin she is now starting treatment. Double Yay! Needless to say this was the quietest Christmas Eve or family event in years. That alone is just amazing and I didn't want to strangle people either.
It's been a tradition for the past few years that my cousin and his family come home for Christmas. They live in North Carolina which is about 10 hours from us. Well the week visit, just as years past, went way to fast. Although, it was truly amazing to be able to see how much his son has grown. The best part of Christmas day was the fact that my Uncle who hasn't really been apart of any family gatherings had taken me up on the offer of coming to visit us at my Gram and Pap's. You have no idea how much this meant to me and everyone in my family. I have always loved my uncle as well as my family. Things just happened and feelings got hurt; which is never easy for either side. I still get tears in my eyes thinking about how blessed god has made my families this year.
So with my Christmas holiday being truly a blessing from God. Here is to a New Year full of Hope, Love and Family!
