Let's hear from Faith…
There's one Christmas I'll never forget. Here's why….
Back in 2005 my husband and brother were still alive, and I was able to cook Christmas Dinner for both of them. My husband was in his hospital bed in the den, and my brother, a Katrina survivor, was in the hospital. I brought him back to be with me a few months after the hurricane struck.
Rick, my husband, was suffering from a brain injury. His mind was not stable at times, and my daughter and I were in the kitchen cooking the dressing when she heard a sound. She peeked in on her dad, and came back to the kitchen. "Mama, Dad's crying." I dropped what I held in m hand and ran to his room.
"Honey," I asked, "What's wrong?"
He replied, "I didn't get you anything for Christmas." The fact he knew what day it was was a miracle in itself.
I lied through my teeth and told him that he did get Christmas for me and my daughter, but that he just didn't remember it. We had a lovely dinner, and I took a plate to the hospital for my brother Zane.
That was the last year they were with us. Zane died in January of 2006 and Rick in August of 2006. That Christmas is special because they were both where I could hold them and tell them I loved them.
So this Christmas I'm wishing for all of you a chance to hold, hug, love, and rejoice in the blessings of the holiday.
Love,Faith
Oh Faith. What a truly touching post. It's so important to hold memories like that close to your heart. This will be my first Christmas without Dad and it's just so hard. I will take your advice and hold, hug, love, and rejoice in the blessings of the holiday. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season, Faith. (((big HUGE cyberhugs)))

Let's learn a little more about IMMORTAL JUSTICE

Over a millennium ago, Highlander Darach MacRath was murdered. Resurrected by the Archangel Michael to fight demons as an Immortal Executioner, Darach now opposes all evil in the mortal world. His life is solitary—but when he rescues a young woman who not only sees demons but battles them herself, he is captivated by her courage and beauty. Abigail Dupree is not looking for love. But when a tall, dark demon fighter with a sexy brogue intervenes in her hunt, she's fascinated. She should run away—but then his gentle yet sizzling touch ensnares her heart. When a demon from Darach's past sets his sights on Abby, Darach will do anything to protect her—but for Abby, losing him would be worse than death. Together they must fight the demons of past and present, and the possibility that evil could destroy them both, before they find the gift of love.
