Late Christmas

“It comes every year and will go on forever. And along with Christmas belong the keepsakes and the customs. Those humble, everyday things a mother clings to, and ponders, like Mary in the secret spaces of her heart.” ― Marjorie Holmes

My sister, Jeri, sent me an Amazon gift card for Christmas while I was living in Makaha Valley, Hawaii.  I moved to Kalihi in January 2017.  Our home didn't have some essentials which were our mugs, cooking knives, and a cutting board.  It was a gift card well spent.
