The Christmas story of the blacksmith
Christmas story in the context of the bloghop in a Facebook group...A challenge, which is also open to Yoorsians...
By the way, this fictional story does not fit in any demonstrable way with the life of the woman in the first picture...
Christmas in the forge
The Christmas story is different for her this year than usual. Joan de Smit was cut last spring by a persistent virus that turned her whole world upside down. And not just her world, by the way...
Luckily she could catch her breath afterwards, but it was right to call a heavy delivery. After all, at that time she was also due and her son Joshua came into the world. All the tests show that he was born healthy, but he seems to be particularly susceptible to infections. She hopes he'll grow up in happiness and health.
Normally, they're together with the whole family in her father's forge. They then read the most classic Christmas story of all time - that from the Bible - while sitting by the open fire. That fire is part of the family. Joan has grown up with it, with it and even in it.
