The holiday season came to an official close as the children took the decorations off the Christmas tree and packed them up. Kyle selected what may have been our finest tree ever this year and with college acceptance letters rolling in, we are all sadly aware that this will be the last time we celebrate this holiday as a family living under one roof. My New Year’s resolution is to enjoy this final year with him as much as possible and to share what remaining wisdom I have to offer as he prepares to spread his wings and fly.
