My life with Damien has always been magical, and never more so than during the holidays, a time for us to celebrate the hardships weβve overcome and the incredible gift that is our family. Over the years, he has both protected and cherished me. He has made my life more rich and full than I could ever have imagined.
This year, heβs treating me and our daughters to a holiday in Manhattan. With parades and ice skating, toy displays and candies. And, most of all, with each other.
Itβs a wonderful gift, a trip I will always cherish. But this year, Iβm the one with the surprise. And I canβt wait to see the look of delight and awe when I finally share my secret with Damien.
But Iβm terrified that when danger strikes, it will take a holiday miracle for me to even get the chance.
