Well, my daughter is not joining us for Christmas this year because she is in South Korea for her exchange student program. I am happy for her. But I was saddened when it just occurred to me today that this Christmas (2023) would be the first Christmas without her. That’s why I was suddenly overjoyed when I saw in the drawer this card that she had written for me last year (Dec 30th, 2022). It still warms my heart when I read it. I miss you, Sue. I pray that you’ll have a wonderful (and charitable) time in Korea!

This card is:
for my very huggable dad ♡

A random appreciation card.
Here you go Dad. It’s lovely being home for the holidays because I get to write this and give this to you in person. I feel so blessed to be able to wake up every day to a father who hugs me every chance he gets, devours every dessert I make, and sends messages to me and drives me places, making sure that I know I’m cared for and loved. Writing this made me realize that maybe I don’t express this to you enough. I hope you know, though, that I think about all this quite often, especially this holiday season! Happy New Year & I love you so much, Dad ♡
Love from Sue, your very happy daughter
