A few short months ago, I was happily walking through cherry blossoms on a beautiful Washington DC spring day and the next thing I know, I am in Tucson just a week away from Christmas. The way time tore through my life this year is staggering. My oldest granddaughter turned in to a young lady of 19. Mateo turned from Grandma’s baby into Grandma’s boy as he began 2nd grade in Virginia. Marluce went from a sassy bouncing spray of curls to a curious little kindergartener. And Max…well, what can I say about Max. He has taken over our hearts and lives with his funny faces and charm. Every day is a new adventure. 2012 is upon us and with that being said, here is my wish –
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end,
This is my grown up christmas list
2012 – Bring it on. I am ready!
