I know Im late writing this, for Christmas is this week (YAY!) but better late then never. Aside from the typical clothes, boots, jewelry, and some money (because remember, i did graduate college this year and my bills are looking horrific these days) I need to make a very special request.
I need you to bring my family back together. By all means necessary. I need you to make it like it was - between my father and my brother. Between my brother and myself. Between my mother and my sister-in-law. But most importantly between my sister-in-law and myself. I want to like to her, i want to have a relationship with her, but its so hard to find it in my heart to forgive her for this past year and emotionally murdering us. I need to have my family back - they are everything to me.
Tonight was our family Christmas party and as i looked around the room, I realized that family truly is everything - the backbone to life. I adore every last one of them. I want my kids and my neices and nephews to be able to have the life that my cousins and I did.
So you can hold off on all the material things, and just give me my family back. Because if you do that, I know ill be able to love harder, forgive easier, and learn to value the important things and let go of the petty.
Love,
Danielle Marie
