I know I'm late to the party - what with being gone this week - but I want you to know that you are a strong, wonderful woman, who I am grateful is my friend. I know we put so much pressure on ourselves this time of year and it's really a terrible thing - it becomes hard to remember the reason for the season - but please just know I'm thinking of you and sending you good thoughts - hoping that you will feel peace.

If anyone needs a real hug it's you. *hugs*
