budgets being shared
numbers being crunched
trying to make time
dad all alone
family in romania
trying to make do
feelings of guilt
loss of magic
anxiety attack
counting days remaining
tears in solitude
curiosity not explored
sad little list
even sadder little tree
he didnt even put on the ornaments this year
fails in comparison
i shouldnt compare
i dont really care
stockings already filled
so much for that
its over in 10 minutes
we dont need any cookies in this house
its a nice try
why even bother
hoping things will mend
can grandma hold up without her daughter
no more caroling
i dont read the bible
lack of kids table-not enough kids
ability to sleep that night
scared of cousins
missing other cousins
$15 scanner
pre-approved gifts
completely gone


what happened to christmas
