No hash tags necessary. All up in my feels today. Christmas is seven days away. Everything is finally coming together for me. Grayson and Callie both have two great presents under this beautiful Christmas tree. My apartment is not only full of furniture and entertainment, but full of love, too. I haven't done it on my own, and I'm so grateful for everyone in my life. I couldn't have any of this without help and support. I know my parents wouldn't have been too proud of me the past few years, but I'm hoping each day I'm a step closer to redemption. Everything is getting better, and that's all I should ask for... Honestly, though, I would give anything for one more holiday season with Mom and Dad. I'd give anything for Callie to know them and for Grayson to know them better. I'd give anything for them to know me better... (at High Point, North Carolina)
