What made your heart beat an extra beat? What personal victories did you win? What did someone do just for you?

With the chaotic'ness behind us (most of us anyway) what feel good moments did you have these last couple of days?

No personal victories, per se. But, it was heartwarming that last night when I was seriously boo-hoo crying about how different the holidays are now that my grandma isn't with us anymore, DH held my hand and tears flowed from him too. It's good to know that she meant that much to him as well. My grandma worked so hard to keep all of us grandkids and kids together for the holidays and we've spent every 26 years of my life at her house on Christmas day, a tradition she made for us. Now that I'm married to a man who's family isn't from our area, it will be soooooo HARD to go anywhere else for Christmas day, for me and my family, after all mawmaw's hard work to get that tradition going all those years ago. But, it's reality, and I'm not going to let DH NOT see his family on the holidays when they all get together. It was nice to know that he is finally understanding why I'm so hesitant to just say "woohoo, yeahhhhh let's go somewhere else for christmas". I'm not trying to be selfish, it's just more hard than I ever thought....especially since she's not here to celebrate with us anymore.
Anyway, before I cry again, I just felt the need to tell that DH warmed my heart yesterday.

That is so sad.....and I think one day I will completely relate to you. My grandparents are in their 80's and as a child I lived beside them my entire life (my parents still do). To not go there for Christmas or any holiday because they are no longer physically with us, will be very difficult for me.

I'm glad your dh was so supportive. Sounds like you needed a rock this season. Hopefully next year you can celebrate her traditions in your own personal way.
