Christmas will be 'very dark' for (those) living alone

[Rorey]

6. My daughter and I were just talking about this

She doesn't like being around others very much, so life isn't all that much different for her. I'm usually good with being alone, but I do enjoy my family.

My daughter-in-law and grandsons stopped by yesterday to pick up my gifts for the boys. We chatted in the driveway for a little bit, all wearing masks and keeping distance. Right before they left I said to my four-year-old grandson, "aura hugs!" and we did that. Then when his mom turned to make sure his baby brother was fine in his car seat, my grandson darted to me and hugged my legs and then darted back and jumped in the truck. My heart just absolutely melted.

Practically crying just remembering it.
