Merry Christmas!
Just a generic message of good wishes for all - for I am barely capable of doing even that.
This is my first Christmas without my best friend of all by my side - my Dad, Joào Jacinto Borges Pimentel (1934-2006)
And I feel not festive one iota.
Oh - I know he is "by my side" still - just not as before...
He is -not was- is a man of great faith - who knows the true reason for the season and would want it honored, remembered and celebrated... And underlined by me, his son.
As with my grief, I will not be showing my festive side much during this year's holy days - suffice to say it is all honored and remembered on the inside, on both accounts...
And I also know that, even if I am not celebrating, it should not impede you from doing so...
Hence...
Merry Christmas
and
Happy New Year
Joyeux Noël
et
Bonne et Heureuse Année
Feliz Natal
e
Bom Ano Novo
