Momaline or Caroline as her friends call her, flew my family out for Christmas.  It has been a long time since I spent Christmas with my mother.  So this time had its ups and downs, emotionally speaking.  One thing I know, is that I am loved.  While realizing that my belief that my parents are superheroes may have been slightly off, I am blessed with parents who cared enough to not intentionally hurt me, abuse me, or abandon me.  They are both a major part of my daily thoughts and they are both a major part of who I am today.  Without them, I would be a much different person.   Mom, thanks for spending the Holiday with me.
