My husband and I are alone tonight. Family is coming for dinner tomorrow evening. We have been in the kitchen for almost two whole days baking and preparing a big meal. BUT, my parents and siblings are all gone and it is bittersweet remembering the great fun Christmas with them, so many great memories. I miss them so much, so a part of me IS alone.
My brother, was a harness horse trainer/driver, eighteen years older than me. So one winter he was racing out of Raceway Park in Toledo, Oh. My mom was watching our little boy for the evening when we drove from Columbus to Toledo to watch our horses race. It was a driving snow, the night before Christmas Eve massive acculturation and we ended up, four of us sleeping in his tack room. We have all never laughed so much, a couple bottles of wine helped. The next morning at 6am, we opened the door to a foot and half of snow. It took us six hours back to Columbus, but we made it home, a great Christmas memory.
That’s a great story.
