Sorry guys this is a short one


Our first Thanksgiving and Christmas with Lilly was something I could never forget. Before she lived with us, she had never had a real Thanksgiving meal or a Christmas celebration.
We hosted Thanksgiving that year and everyone came to celebrate with us. We had a long table out in the yard where Marcy and family, Bailey and family, and Steve and family all sat for dinner. That night Lilly had gushed to us about how much she loved having a big family. She had told us that when she was younger she used to dream about having big dinners like that.
Christmas was even better. Lilly obviously didn't believe in Santa, because she had never gotten presents as a kid and she was a little too old. We were all too excited to buy her everything on her Christmas list though. We all decorated the tree and baked cookies together. On Christmas morning Louis and I were the ones to wake Lilly up at the crack of dawn because we were too excited to wait. Lilly spent the whole morning opening presents and thanking us after each one. That night we had dinner at Steve and Karen's place. Louis, Steve, Karen, and I sat on the couch watch Lilly and the kids play on the floor with their new toys. I loved seeing Lilly get along with my half-siblings. It made me happy to know that at least part of my family was intact again. Life was starting to feel right again.
After the holidays, things started to go back to normal. Lilly went to school and I went to work. Louis was writing songs and spending time in the studio with other artists.
That summer we spent traveling around the country and the world following some of the artists Louis had produced and written for. It was so fun showing Lilly new cultures and lifestyles. She soaked everything in like a sponge and I swore she learned more traveling than she did in an actual school. I loved watching her face light up every time she tried a new food or learned a new word in a different language. She was truly the light in Louis and my's life and I wouldn't change that for anything in the world.
