Wendy's Christmas Chronicles.......

My first true quest/reality of becoming a single parent of one daughter and two sons all under the age of eleven was at Christmas time. A rewarding, exciting, fulfilling and most memorable time of my life. 

During my separation period the children and I was blessed with the opportunity of residing with my grandparents to save money to enable us to venture out on our own.

The day came out a week before Christmas....lease signed and keys in hand for a 3 bedroom apartment. Overjoyed! And, I thanked God for my grandmother who co-signed for furniture and delivery date set. Overjoyed!

The memorable moment was purchasing a tree and ornaments to decorate without the children. After school I told the children we have to visit a friend's apartment who was out of town for the holidays....house sitting. As we entered in the apartment; turned on the light I believed my oldest child said, "Mom, she doesn't have any furniture." So, I plugged in the decorated Christmas tree and said, "Merry Christmas, this is our apartment!"
