I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas. We are never alone. Not when the night is darkest, the wind coldest, the world seemingly most indifferent. For this is still the time God chooses.
Taylor Caldwell, I do not know who he is, or was, said that, and on my first Christmas that I anticipated would be lonely...such was not the case at all. I'd like to thank the gentlemen who had me to their revellion, the first I have been to since I was very young, in my teens, before I ran away from home, and with whom I've found more common ground than any of us had imagined possible.
Andre,in particular, thank you for your attempts to draw me in, to treat me as a human, as your friend, despite our rocky start. You managed to be there for me on a difficult day. It was Christmas Day that I asked my father in law for my Lucie's hand, that I asked her, that our family was set into motion and this second Christmas without her, though I am longer in a cell, looked to be difficult. It WAS difficult, come to that, but being around a group of friends did help to take the sting away a bit.
I do appreciate the thought, and the courtesy paid to a convict and a traitor to the republic after all. It was a better day by far than I'd imagined.
...Thank you.
