Holidays are always difficult.
In the past couple of years, it's been difficult to not have a complete holiday like we used to. Now it's about making up stories and excuses for why the uncle isn't coming.
The worst part is that my cousins/his sons don't know what's changed so much. They see that their dad wants to spend more time with his side more. But they don't understand why the change is happening.
The youngest of the brothers once asked, "Why don't we have big parties at your house anymore? Are we going to do it again soon?"
How do we explain that to this 11 year old?
When will the holidays cheery again?
When we have relatives visit, they ask us, "Where is that family? Why aren't they here now?"
While I do believe that the truth will really free us, when will I feel free?
