Letters from home
It occurred to me today that it was ten years ago that the soon to be ex
wife moved out, taking the kids and half of the household. I was left with
dust spots where the stuff used to be, and no microwave. I didn't realize
how much I used that microwave.
I didn't feel like it, but I went out and got a tree anyhow and decorated
it. The kids were pretty small back then, just out of the Santa Claus phase
and it would have been sad for them to not have a tree at dad's with all the
other changes they were going through. I also got out all the Christmas
stuff they made when they were little kids and taped it up on the walls as
decorations.
I still have that lack of spirit. I got a tree this year, for the first
time ever alone; done without a winter coat on. It was 58 degrees that day.
It's a nice little tree, it has lights and fake cranberries on it too.
I have the house to myself again, ten years later. Sons one and two are now
living with girlfriends. Son two moved his furniture out, Son one hasn't
yet. He claims to still live at my house, though I never see him. They are
both enormously happy with their arrangements, that's all I ask.
I got my Christmas present early, last May in fact. TheArtist loves
decorating her house for Christmas; now that most of the projects are done
it looks pretty good! This Christmas will be different than all the
others.
