“Christmas was definitely the best thing ever, even better than pizza. But instead of all her favorite toppings, Amitola was surrounded by all her favorite people.”

The first time I ever used a Christmas filter on my photos. |
Christmas Eve was spent at Trevor's sister's home. This would be the first time I met majority of his Hawaii family. His ex would be there with their daughters. I'm a little intimidated, because he and I don't have much of a history and I just want to fit in.
I miss my family more than anything, and will be spending it with everyone else's family. I'm trying to enjoy Christmas, but I have a huge, gaping hole in my heart.
Thankfully, Maile, Trevor's daughters' mother was actually very kind to me and so was the rest of his family. It will take some time for his daughters to come around, but I am determined to at least be a rock in this man's life. He had been away more than he'd been home, so I feel for his children. Oh, how I miss mine, though!
Trevor had to go to work that evening, and so I was left behind at his sister's house. I am so much of an introvert, that I didn't know what to do or to say, being left in the house with his family. His mother, Jodie, told me to follow her to her bedroom.
Jodie climbed onto her bed, and told me to have a seat in the chair on the side of the room. She began to ask me questions about myself and tell me things about Trevor. It was nice to get to know him through someone else's eyes.
