DESPITE EVERYTHING THIS year, Christmas was surprisingly great. We had a nice day with three Christmas'. The first at my aunt Carols house where Shelby and I both received a brand new fly rod and reel, mine an Orvis 3wt. and Shelbys a Cabellas 4wt., she even got her own little fishing vest complete with flies and line. My 90 year old Grandfather bless his heart, wanted to get her "set up" properly before he passes away(sigh). I just keep telling him he's crazy but I guess i am in denial, he is after all 90! But my Grandfather is an invincible superhero, a Berkley educated engineer, Arizona state archery champion, all knowing fly fisherman, photographer, perfectionist, only father i ever knew, and so so much more. He will never die; i know it.
Later that day, after a much needed nap for Shelby; Josh came over to pick her up and go to his families Christmas. I felt sick in my stomach knowing that Josh spent Christmas morning by himself. I hope next year he has someone new in his life and he wont have to do that again. I still very much care about his well being and happiness. Before Josh left with Shelby, we had a little Christmas of our own watching our beautiful daughter open her gifts from "Santa". The concept i hope that will be better understood next year. Much more fun! I hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas and will have a safe and happy New Year.
