Hello Everyone!!!! Merry Christmas. I am writing, though, for not a very merry season. Last Friday, December 14, our neighbor's husband died of a heart attack while taking a nap. His five year old daughter found him. Being here is different from home in that we did not find out about his death until today. They buried him Thursday and now the mother is left to raise their daughter. Even worse, both my neighbor and her late husband were prop masters on movie sets and tv sets, but with the current strike, they have been out of work since late November. I went today and got their daughter, Jenny, a kids SpongeBOB camera and The Grinch dvd. We spent the afternoon and evening playing with her little friend and hanging out at their apartment. My neighbor needed to go out so now Jenny and I are watching the Jim Carey version of The Grinch and playing computer games.....since she, at five, is smarter with computers than I am.
Anyways, having this happen makes me really put into perspective....so I want everyone to hug their family, even if they don't particularly like them because it really could be over. What I find so devastating is that a five year old girl lost her daddy whom she loved very much and had a close relationship with. so this holiday, keep this family in mind and pray for their future and that they have the best Christmas they can. Little Jenny won't be getting much and most of all, she is without her dady and Jane has lost her husband and friend.
I Love everyone and miss everyone....so much!!!! Work is going well and we have Christmas and Christmas Eve off. JT works till one am today (saturday) and Tomorrow. And he works till 830pm on Christmas Eve. He are going to have dinner at a restaurant called Gradisca and watching Christmas movies! Love you guys!
