I mean in reality, when you are sitting next to the tree Christmas morning and handing out the gifts...they have to be an even number! You can't have two more gifts for one than the other, although you spent the same amount. Dilemma of being a parent!! Divorce sucks, bottom line. And Christmas alone sucks too! Good point how NOW you know what she wants or likes, isn't life crazy like that. The truth is you knew all along, now you just want it to matter.

I am having my first Christmas alone this year. I thought I was doing great until I realized my extreme exhaustion was depression related. I still have presents I haven't wrapped, completely out of character for me. I mean it's Christmas Eve, I haven't much time left. The presents wrapped by my mom don't stand out as much as the ones wrapped by dad. He liked to use brown lunch bags and the comics from the paper. I'm sure your kids will think more often of how your gifts were always butcher wrapped than the works of art. -Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing Jack.

Soon you will be surrounded by your babies with their smiling faces and happy squeals of joy when they open their presents. Let that be your guiding light! Merry Christmas!! The emptiness won’t ever leave you until you let her go, Jack.
