Lost

I lost a second cross pendant today; it just fell off my chain. I'm not frazzled: it was just a pendant, but then it was also a birthday present from my sister. The first thing I thought of when I realised that it was gone, was that this will be the first Christmas that I'll be spending without her. I secretly hope this is all a joke and that she will surprise us by turning up on Christmas Day (or Eve, or any day, really). It hasn't quite hit me, but when it does, you can be sure I'll be crying bucketfuls. In case you hadn't realised, it doesn't take much for that to happen, much less having my favourite person missing from my favourite time of the year.

I have another two cross pendants hanging around -- both gifts, and now you know why. Time to dust one of them off. Ho ho ho.

P.S. You can buy me something to cheer me up.
