Holiday Sadness

Many people have asked if I had a good 4th
and I did enjoy the festivities and time with my husband
but in all honesty, I have been sad this weekend
It was a holiday and these days we are spending all holidays
without a member of our family
and summer is a busy time for many and we haven't
gotten to spend much time with other family members as well
so, this heartbroken mama had a sad holiday
I am sure I will have many more, but I am learning to be honest about it
