May your walls know joy, may every room hold
laughter, and every window open to great possibility...

December, being the last month of the year,
cannot help but make us think of what is to come.
This year my parents are here for the holidays. For
me that is my wish come true time after time. Having
them around is the best present I could ever ask for.
2024 has seen us weather two major hurricanes and tropical
storms here in Fort Myers. We have been fortunate to have
not suffered from the brunt of it, but many not so lucky.
Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida on
the night of September 26th, 2024 causing catastrophic
damage. With over 200 deaths. The storm's economic
losses are estimated to surpass more than $50 billion.
Hurricane Helene then made landfall in North Carolina on
September 30th, 2024 as a category four. The devastation is
immense. Hurricane Milton made landfall in Florida on October
9th 2024 damages are estimated to be over $30 billion. We watched
from the bedroom window as each hurricane "passed" by.
It was fascinating and devastating at the same time.
I am grateful for all the blessing in my life.
I love the life I share with Arvid and Sniff.
Would not change it for anything else.
December is a beautiful month. Not only because
of Christmas, but because December is also my mom's
birthday which happens to be on Christmas day. Also,
Danielle has her birthday on December 26th 🎄

It gives us even more reasons to celebrate. I have
3 cousins who were also born on Christmas day. Imagine
if we all got together. Nina's husband David also celebrates
his birthday in December as does Juan, J and Kimsy's dad.
Yes, there are many reasons to love December. A very good
reason right now is having mom and dad here with us

December is a simple wish
that brings spectacular moments...
