Our family Christmas gift last year was a trip to Universal Studios in Florida!  Before Christmas, we booked the hotel & park tickets, and in early January started looking at flights.  As we discussed flying, and my anxiety climbed, it became evident that I wasn’t ready to fly again.  My track record with flying is fairly poor and I just wasn’t ready to risk being sick during the trip again.  

So, we made the very difficult decision that mom would stay home.  We were so thankful for God’s direction in this.  In the end, it was the right decision for all of us.  Kenny & the kids had a blast & didn’t have to worry about me & how I was feeling.  I enjoyed a very quiet four days at home resting, getting a few things done & was refreshed by the time they returned.
