December 30 – Gift Prompt:

Gift. This month, gifts and gift-giving can seem inescapable. What’s the most memorable gift, tangible or emotional, you received this year?

I received an overwhelming number of tangible and emotional gifts this year.  The one gift that I received this year that will remain in my memory forever is the gift of family time.  Living clear across the country from my own family, and not being that close to them, makes it tough sometimes, but when I married Kevin, I married into an amazing family that took me in as one of their own.  Getting to spend time with Kevin's grandfather, his aunt, and all of his cousins, siblings, and his mom this year, more time than was originally planned for, but all of it was fun and made me not miss home so much.  The saying, home is where your heart is, really rings true, because my heart is with Kevin and I feel at home with his family.  The extra time we got to spend with Aunt Pat, and all the time I was able to spend with Bop was the most memorable gift one could ever receive.
