Joy and sorrow of the season

I have thought about posting often, but not motivated enough to write. Nov. 7 was Michael's birthday. I thought about him constantly all week. Thanksgiving weekend is the three year anniversary of our first homestudy appointment. And, Dec. 13 will be three years since I saw Michael's picture for the first time with the question, "Could this be your son?" Again, this Christmas we put up the decorations that we thought for sure he'd be here for this year. I hang up his stocking, again. Open his box of ornaments, he gets one every year too.

No one asks me what I want for Christmas, It would be silly. There is only one thing and maybe next year he'll be here.
