When the holidays come around, that's when it hits you. No more Thanksgivings with both sets of grandparents, all your aunts and uncles and cousin. No more waking up on Christmas morning with both of your parents waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
Being in a broken family means you're used to certain things that other people don't know about. You're used to getting presents at one family gathering and then driving somewhere else to get the rest. You know what it's like to have to save room from your first Thanksgiving meal so you can make sure to eat at the second one.
The holidays are always a tough time for children of divorce. Looking on Instagram at the sweet family pictures and remembering when you had that too. All you want is to go back to that, but that's not what God intended.
The holidays can be twice as happy and twice as fun with twice the family gatherings. It's not all bad getting two Turkeys, two sets of presents, twice the love. Being a child of divorce can be hard, but it's nice to know that you're not alone.
