Subject: Raven's Facebook Message 12/27/13

I have not had a chance to check in here until now, but I had one of the most beautiful Christmas's I could have ever hoped for. It was the most spiritual I have ever had in my entire life. The very spirit of Christmas filled our home. Things just felt different. Only those closest to me know that when my Mom died, I stopped celebrating Christmas there for a while (so unlike me as I have always loved Christmas and all the decorations and everything). This year was special because I was led to believe that I would truly never see another Christmas again, but more importantly, it was because I let what Christmas is supposed to be about into my heart. We prayed and thanked God for all that we have (and meant it). We watched "It's A Wonderful Life" and "A Christmas Carol" (Alistair Sim only for me) and those time honored traditions brought back so many wonderful memories of Christmas's past. We found that wonderful Yuletime Log and it had the best Christmas Music of anything else we could find. We held hands, laughed, made Christmas Dinner together, and the meal was just incredible. I was actually nervous there for a moment because things were too perfect (waiting for that shoe to drop, but it never did). It may seem mushy for some, but when you feel Christmas in your heart, it's a magical moment in time. I hadn't felt Christmas for years (I felt this one intensely).

I thanked God for you and what you have done to keep me fighting and strong. I thought about many of you (truly). I hoped with all my heart that wherever you were on Christmas day, that you were smiling and having fun. You guys are like angels for me all year long, and you deserve to have the most beautiful of all holidays. So many of you are good people who are genuine and lovely inside. You more than make up for anything unpleasant. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas, and just think, a new year is about to begin, and with it, so much hope!! May God bless you, keep you, protect you, shelter you, and help you in times of despair and uncertainty. Happy New Year! XOXOXO!

P.S. For my amazing Oncologist, I love you with all my heart and soul for what you have done for me. You have never given up on me, and that has made the difference between life and death for me. You made all the right calls all the way down the line. You have never dumbed me down or made me feel small. You have stood by me through thick and thin. You have only helped me when others felt my case was too far gone. Your wife is adorable and loving just like you (not surprised). I know that you stop by here sometimes, so please know that I am grateful to have the best Oncologist anyone could ever hope for (and to my favorite chemo nurse, I love you girl). God bless you.

(((Dearest Ravenbeauty)))

Though I don't know you personally, with all my heart I want to say that the best present I've gotten for Christmas is knowing your holiday has been as beautiful and loving as you described. :)

Love you always!
Hannah
