Holidays and special occasions are awesome--until someone forgets, someone doesn't show up, nothing seems special about it, or saddening things are remembered.
The first three reasons are why I hate planning and why I dislike my birthday. But heyy, I gotta make do with what I am given and usually, I'm given a selected number of people to spend whatever was planned or my brithday with. Praise God.
A year ago, the "Asian Tsunami" or "Boxing Day Tsunami"--whichever you prefer--took place. A year ago, my dad got into a car accident on the way to work. A year ago, I cried for over 275,000 souls which were lost. A year ago, I cried for my dad being safe. A year ago, I cried for being alive.
Today was a day like no other. Christmas day with friends and family. I could ask for more, like have everyone complete, but I won't. Why? Simply because I made do with what I was given and I experienced one of the best Christmases ever.
2005 is a memorable year. It makes me look forward to 2006.
Thank you for your prayers, Mama Mary. Please continue to pray for us sinners; cover us with your mantle of protection and keep us out of harm's way.
Holy Trinity, one God, my Lord, have mercy on us. Thank you for your infinite and unconditional love. Please, continue to bless and guide each of our bodies, minds, hearts and souls as we continue to try to live our lives in accordance to your will.
