I am thinking about you more than usual today. I know everyone else is, too. You would be at L---'s, possibly by force, with Mom and everyone else, probably putting a call in to your grandma, and definitely to your dad and M---. You might even call me and pretend not to want to wish me a Merry Christmas, or maybe you'd say something like, "I know you don't celebrate this pagan holiday, but I do, so Merry Christmas anyway, because I love you and I'm thinking about you." You totally would -- you said almost exactly that last year.
I thought because I don't celebrate that I'd escape the typical 'first holiday season after' sadness. Turns out there are memories no matter what. Turns out I miss you more that normal today. Go figure.
