What I want for Christmas and for the New Year is both simple and complicated. I want a cuddle and a movie with the 7 year old; I want to be able to go out with, talk with, emotionally support, advice and help her teen sisters; I want to go out with the Eastern teens and be in their lives; I want to go out, cuddle and keep in touch and keep advising the Eastern tween; I want to be there for the Eastern baby; I want to be able to cuddle with her 11 year old sister and push her up in her climb to her dreams; I want to see Gaga again, speak with her and hug her for a long time; I want to talk with her 21 year old sister and tell her that life can improve; I want to congratulate Raccoon and have her rest her head on my shoulder; I want to party with her friends; I also want to party with Gunner's friends and keep them in my life; I want hours long talks and cuddles and outings with Gunner herself and to reassure her I'm always going to be there for her; and finally, I want to look at Thatcher in her eyes, to be in each other's arms, to listen to her voice, and that she tells me that she will keep me close forever.


Oh, and the possible new job and second degree would be great too!
