2010-01-06 - 1:54 p.m. I was wondering how long it has been since I have written and it turns out that it was my fathers birthday last March. I don't know what that means, but to say that I have lost most of the last 10 months because I will never remember them otherwise. I got the idea to come back to this site because I began the novel 13 moons. It is wonderful, and the man keeps a journal. So much is lost when not recorded in a journal. This I realize most when I go back and read these entries... I am surprised every time at how much I have forgotten. Let me begin with Christmas. Kasyl insisted in waiting in a really long line at the mall to tell Santa what he wanted. I could see both he and Thayne explaining in great detail what they wished for. When they were done I asked them what they told him, and they said they forgot but that he said he would see what he could do. I tried to push the matter, but they both insisted that I didn't need to know. After Christmas Kasyl let me know that Santa didn't bring him anything that he asked for. Kasyl wanted a robotic, remote control lego set. Very expensive I imagine, but mostly way out of his age group. As I spend a lot of time assembling legos for them I am really glad that I didn't have to spend hours and hours putting together a robotic, remote control set! I told him that Santa probably thought he could use a bike more and he seemed fine with that. Last year I remember Kasyl was mad at Santa for not wrapping the presents that he brought. This year he asked if Santa had the same gift tags as us. I told him that lots of people have those same gift tags. I was wise enough to use different paper, but didn't pay enough attention to the details I guess. I am afraid that this is probably that last year that they will believe. On a sad note, Dennis's dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in July. I hope and pray that he proves them wrong. If not, Dad I guess you will get a chance to meet him. I hope you like him. I love you. � � |
