Christmas Wishes


Peace On Earth

Peace On Earth

Hello friends,

On this day before Christmas, I have not a moment to write something interesting, smart, or funny–but I’m at peace with that.  My whole family is here and so writing seems less important than just hanging out, taking long walks through our festive neighborhood with my mom, baking cookies with my sisters, or singing Christmas carols with the kids.  But I did want to wish you the joy of this special season and a happy, healthy 2013.  2012 certainly brought its challenges, but as this year draws to a close, I can’t help but feel very, very blessed.  My mom continues to be a brave and graceful warrior in her cancer fight and my children are daily reminders that there is humor and beauty to be found in each day–no matter how tough things get.

Warmly,

Suzanne

Merry Christmas, 2012

  1. To say ‘I miss you’ seems ridiculous, since we’ve never really been in one place together long enough to even spend real time together…but you are a gorgeous soul, and I am so grateful you are in my life, even if it is mostly cyber! Merry Christmas to you and yours. XO

  2. Big circles of Nogu hugs hold you and your Mom in love and healing. What a year it has been, and your spirit punched it through! Merry Christmas to you all! OXXO Nogu and Papa

  3. Suzanne, Peace and happiness to you and your family this Christmas. Your mom looks likes she’s feeling better in that photo – I hope she is!

  4. Dearest Suzanne, Ethan, Griffin and Adrian and precious, precious Gabriele, May the warmth and blessings of these last few (years!) continue to hold you and yours in the loving presence of the spirit for the New Year. Your gift of sharing with us has been a gift of immeasurable value…We are so blessed to have the Dubrow/Rico family in our virtual camp…

    Merry Christmas…

    Patti and Mika

  5. Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas, and a new year filled with renewed hope and strength. Glad you are all together as this year closes. Wishing you and the family a healthy year in 2013! Your mom looks beautiful.

  9. Simply put yet so impactful. Love to your amazingly strong and spiritual family. I know the new year will provide us with more memories to cherish, but for today we will live in the moment and be grateful for the friends and family we are blessed with. Merry Christmas!

  15. Gabriele looks like a Diva! Wishing all the family peace and goodness.

  16. Gabi… That’s what you know I call you…

    My “Sister”… you’ve been thru hell and back in your life… you are indeed a fighter… knew that from day one when first we met… my daily thoughts surround you… first off… the girls… all strong.. wonder where that came from… and my new friend… Richard… a hell of a guy… only wish I were closer… but hey… he knows how to reach me… Enjoy the gang… hug the little people, medium and big… because … “When you give a hug… you… should get one back”… Love ya all… Doug

  17. Whenever I see an entry from Walking Papers, my heart freezes for a moment while I evaluate the heading: What’s the news? Is Gabriele better, worse or the same? (Scratch that last question–she’s never the same. That’s what makes her such a compelling personality.) To open today to a photo of the two of you, mother and daughter, gorgeous and radiant, was the very best of Christmas gifts. Your love for one another spills out from Walking Papers to the whole world, healing and offering hope to this painful planet.

    Much love and peace to you and all of your family,

    Maureen

  19. Blessings to you Gabi, all the girls and boys and the wonderful daughters!
    I stayed with Heidi through the 25th and we missed you all so much, but now I’m relieved that all seems to be better and–on to the next challenge. So glad you had a wonderful, love-filled Christmas together with cookies and all the trimmings. Happy, healthy, 2013, Trauti

  20. You two look soooooo beautiful!  A blessed Christmas and a Happy and healthy New Year!  Love, Monica & Lee
