This property and our experience in the stay, was a like a story book experience, yet it was REAL. The stockings were hung by the TV with care. Our home was decorated Merry and Bright, and a thrill of hope was in the air. Soon we would all be gathered there.
My son and his family, have been in and out of the hospital, awaiting the transplant of moms kidney to their son (21).
I wanted a home close by to gather, break bread, and the presence of happy family all wrapped up in each other. The home was supplied with all I needed for cooking and baking holiday style. While the weather outside was frightful and below freezing, we had no issues with freezing pipes, heat, or power. Far from a stable, this Christmas was a first experience in being Home Away for Christmas.
It was Truly a JOYOUS NOEL!
