MM – Mixed emotions

I have a major case of mixed emotions. December and the accompanying holiday season has been a time of joy and sadness for me since 2001. That year, within a two week span, I lost my maternal grandmother and my father. Some years it hits me hard, and it’s a struggle to maintain a cheerful front for the family. Some years, I get a twinge and a wistful desire they were both here to see what amazing people our kidlets have become. While I don’t doubt they are still watching over us (the subject for future blog entries), it’s still not the same.

Miss you Nana. Miss you Dad.

Mixed emotions. First, this is not a passive voice. Next, I am writing in an active voice. Therefore, my SEO will stop telling me how to write. Furthermore, these sentences are also shorter than twenty words. Rather, stop being so controlling. Especially since most of the sentences in this post are not mine. I will keep going while until you turn green. I can’t believe this is still orange. Finally, it has turned. Success! First, this is not a passive voice. Next, I am writing in an active voice.
