"Merry Christmas Darling We're apart that's true But I can dream and in my dreams I'm Christmasing with you" -The Carpenters
It's Christmas Day, and though I am staying with Trevor's dad's widow, Tina, I feel lonely. Christmas doesn't feel the same. She doesn't put up a tree. She doesn't buy and wrap gifts. There's no Christmas music. I am, so very much, missing my fiance, Trevor. He is incarcerated during this time, finishing an old sentence from before we met. We have 3 more months of waiting for him to parole back to Oregon. It is our first Christmas apart for the few years we have been together. He is in Hawaii and I am in Oregon. This is probably the hardest Christmas, yet. I will make the best of it.
I miss everything about him. His smile, his hands, his beard, his presence. I miss how, even though I tell him NO GIFTS, he still gives me something.
In the tradition of baking cookies, I have made powdered cherry almond chocolate chip cookies (made this up on my own, with leftover ingredients) and peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Wish I could share them with Trevor and my kids.
Chocolate makes it all better, but I would rather have my family.
