Speaking of having a LOT to be thankful for this Christmas season...
I just gave a Christmas card to one of my neighbors downstairs, and she said she really doesn't like Christmas...at all. I asked her why. She told me that when she was 12 years old, her father was murdered on Christmas Eve!!!
She said the only comfort she had that Christmas day was that her four brother's and sisters did NOT yet know it had happened, and THEY got to enjoy Christmas.
So I am now thankful that none of MY family were ever murdered. Especially on Christmas Eve!!!
I can't imagine the heartache and the horror of what she felt as a child.
The murderers were never caught. She only knows that there were two of them.
