Merry Xmass to you.
11 years ago
As some of you who take the time to read my journal entries already know, the last year Christmas Eve supper was (like the rest of the holidays) took a dark turn when my sister had a car accident after buying the food she was going to prepare for say event.
One year later my sister now must face a future being able to use her left arm at its 70% for the rest of her life and possible sequels both neuropathological (memory lost by a blood clot caused by the impact of her skull on the car's crystal) and pathological (PTD). Still, she is alive and today me and my parents will go to her place for have a warm family celebration which couldn't happen in 2013.
I wish you all a merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Quanza or similar celebrations, that you can spend them with your beloved ones because that is what really matters in this time of the year, not the gifts, not the abundant suppers and dinners, but that feeling you belong to somewhere and there is people who care for you. You could give it for granted, that the next morning and the next one you will wake up and they will be still there, but that is an illusion. Tragedy can happen.
And you don't value something really until is gone forever.
For this reason, please, keep arguments to a minimum, don't be selfish, take your time to ask to those members of the family you don't see often during the year about what they had done, what they are doing and what are they projects of future. Remember together the good times and cast a side the bad ones.
There is no better gift than that.

I hope yours were also as good as mine and also I am glad that you are closer to graduation, which I must add that there is no reason of let stress take control because you have enough wits for perform far more than average.
Is just a matter of not drop down your guard in these last feet to the goal line.
