Signs of Healing!

December 3, 2005 - with the tree up and decorated, I decided it was time to wrap some of the presents that I had bought for my grandsons...and I had a plan...Scooby Doo paper for two year old Will's gifts and Batman wrapping paper for five year old Jack. They could easily tell their gifts apart and so far, I found I was doing good...three gifts for each of the oldest and three for baby Sam. As I signed the cards "from Mimi", my thoughts drifted back to the first Christmas after Mike died. As I wrapped the gifts that year, I automatically started to write "from Pawpaw and Mimi" or "from Pam and Mike." I remember crying as I did each "from" card. Who would have ever thought wrapping gifts could be so painful? Tonight I realized I filled out all the cards before it struck me that it was natural to put just my name on the card. WOW! Another sign of healing! Thank you, Lord, that little by little the single Pam is learning to live in her new idenity and thank you, for allowing me to see how far I have come.
