Hurrah!

[zouzounaki]

So, I'm sick. Sick as a dog. After two weeks of avoiding the flu that my sister had, right as she recovered almost fully, I caught it. Le sigh. So how, exactly, you may ask, is that a hurrah? Well, I'm feeling a little better today and it might not be as prolonged as I feared it would be and I'll be bright eyed and bushy tailed on Saturday,a s the LeZotte Christmas festivities always begin on Christmas Eve! Got my shopping done, tree is up (and looks lovely!); now all I have to do is rest, kick my feet back and get better!

It's strange cos I've been feeling a certain melancholy this year as well, and, yesterday, Ann happened to turn to me and say 'I miss them this year. I didn't as much last year, but I do now. I really miss them.' Last year, my parents' deaths had still be so close and my father's had been, as cruel as it sounds, a relief. It still felt like they were there, you know? Now, this year, we're in our new place together and have basically severed the ties to them, there is a sense of sadness about it, as well as one of starting over. It's facing the fact that, this is it, this is the rest of our lives without them!

So, this is for them! My mother absolutely loved the holidays, so all of this cheer that I feel for the season, this is for her!

Peace, Ghani
