What is the proper remedy

for a family in need?

Tthe balm can be the home itself

and all the mouths to feed.

Those close to us do what they can

to fill our coffee cup

And just their presence brings the joy

and helps to build us up

Grandma!

Merry Christmas, sweetheart!

Oh my goodness, you are getting so tall.

How was the drive up? Did you have fun?

We played I spy, and the licence plate game, and who am I...

And then Jackson decided to sneak a little snack from one of the gifts in the back.

But they’re my favourite, i couldn’t wait!

Your favourite? You mean…

Well, I was going to wait until after dinner, but someone spoiled the surprise…

Dawn, you didn’t.

I found dad’s shortbread recipe… and I thought it would be pretty special.

Merry Christmas, grandma.

Awe, Jackson, they’re my favourite too.

Abby! Come see what your sister brought!

Oh hey, you’re here!

Ooh, cookies!

Liam! are you okay in there?

Do you have any more towels?

Jackson, why don’t you go help uncle Liam?

Is Liv here yet?

No.

She’s stuck at the airport.

Sounds like she might not make it.

First Christmas without dad, and she can’t make it?

Her flight was delayed… or cancelled. She’ll get here when she gets here.

She should have booked an earlier flight…

Nothing we can do.

Should we see if Liam needs help in the kitchen?

I’m okay!

Don’t worry about it mom, we can take care of it. You go sit.

Let’s go save Jackson from Liam.

Sorry!

Or Liam from Jackson!
