Hello all. I'm back, I am. Christmas is over, Skye is back home. I am very, very tired. I was sick all last night and we had to get up at 6 to get Skye on the plane. I hardly slept at all. Great timing. Skye was sick when she got here. And there were problems with her flights so she had to take a train for part of the journey. And she was both homesick and real sick. We had to delay our christmas dinner because of it. So yeah, it wasn't the "perfect" christmas after all. But even though it wasn't all easy I'm still left with some wonderful, sweet memories. Of a wonderful, sweet person. And even though the christmas dinner was late it was also one of the best I've ever had, just like I imagined it would. Skye showed me new things. Sweet presents. Bacardi breezers. Muppet shows and shopping in Favorit. Kisses and hugs. But I'll tell you all about it soon. Right now I'm so tired that I might just sleep for a few days.

I keep looking to my side expecting to see her there. I was lying in bed (my own wonderful, uncomfortable, perfect bed) and watching a little tv and I could almost hear her make animal sounds. She makes the greatest animal sounds.

But I just wanted to say that we both survived the trains, planes and automobusses. Hope you all had a lovely, little christmas. Thanks for the cards, Traci, Katy and Belinda. Svery sweet. I'm going to try to catch up with diaries and journals and guestbooks and everything soon.

This entry is going to feel all empty without a calendar candle...

Aw.
