I spent the last 8 years alone at both Thanksgiving and Christmas. As I got older the family became non existent. Never thought It would happen to me. Divorce, death, siblings moving. So alone becomes a peaceful holiday with much sacredness. I spend time on hikes. Luckily I now have a sweet girlfriend I go over there. Its fun but its not my family and the pain appears.
we are home always, the trees and rivers whisper this to us, its all i have to go on.
