| Merry Christmas from Toto, Patrick and me .. ... after having not been able to check in for days, there are now over 10,000 new posts and I simply cannot catch up. I signed on and the first two things I saw was the news about Yoda ... I am praying that he will be well soon. The next I saw was that Cookie hasn't been found and I am praying for him and for Gen as well. I didn’t go any further. I haven't really had the heart to do anything since losing Trish in June, Toto’s very best friend, Kena and then the unexpected loss of Pop [Patrick's sweet Dad] in October. We were just too emotionally and physically exhausted to fly home to be with family during the Holidays. We flew Patrick’s sister here to be with us … she lived with Pop and cared for him all these years and needed a change of scenery. None of us want to smell nor cook our traditional Christmas dinner so will have lunch at a favorite Chinese restaurant which will be open Christmas day. It seems the more I try, the slower I get ... and please don't think I want nor need anyone's sympathy, I just simply have to work through this. There are way more people out there with real needs and it overwhelms me to dwell on that but find myself not able to get them out of my mind and heart. I am not confessing this to make anyone sad, on the contrary, it’s the happiest time of the year! We have done all our “Santa” appearances with happy smiles and made lots and lots of children smile. Patrick & I have agreed that neither of us have the heart to exchange gifts this year but to do something we both will find some joy in after we are totally done with 2009. Hopefully we can put all the grief and sadness behind us and begin to concentrate on the happy memories. I have not mailed my Christmas cards but intend to, even if it’s 12/26! If some of you receive Christmas cards in January 2010, please don’t think me senile nor uncaring. I find much peace in completing something, anything that I start even if it takes what seems to be forever! I am so sorry if this seems sad or depressing … it certainly wasn’t meant to. I simply needed to say it and to let my YT extended family know how very much I love you all. I pray that each of you have the most wonderful Christmas ever and can begin the New Year with the hope and expectation that we do. So, from the beautiful Western Slope of Colorado, Patrick, Bettye and Toto would like to wish you all a very ….... MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
