Christmas Eve Approaching

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. Our tradition has always been to open one present and eat pizza for dinner. There won't be pizza this year. It just doesn't seem right. Mason's favorite foods don't even taste the same as they used to. We're starting a new tradition this year and going to church. Each of us has something to do to help and I'm looking forward to hearing the Word. I don't know what we're doing on Christmas Day yet but I am praying that God puts us where we are needed. I'll be heading to the hospital soon to help welcome a baby into the world. The time that I spend there will be emotional, I'm sure. We, finally, just yesterday, got the complete report from the medical examiner and today is the day that Mason was finally able to leave the hospital last year. The client that I will be joining in labor is also a kind and caring doctor who treated Mason when he was in the hospital. It is my turn to return the compassion and I am happy to share in her birth and make a good memory today.
