How sweet of you, my dear.
I lost my mom before the holidays last year and I remember how hard that first Christmas was without her. In fact, this one was hard too. It just doesn't seem right her and dad not being with us when we celebrate ... (and writing this still brings a tear to my eye) ... but you know, I would not wish them back ... Because of their belief and mine as well, I know they are in a place much nicer and though they cannot come back to us, we can go to them ... and this is their greatest wish that we need to work to fulfill.

Be strong my dear, as you are and know that she is having an awesome time and she is WITH the reason for the season ... I can only imagine how awesome that must be.

I have a 3 yr old to raise, so do not want to check out yet BUT I do envy those who have gone on before me ... what a day that will be.

Merry Christmas my dear and may 2009 bring you comfort and peace and a joy for the future planned for you, that your mama helped make possible by bringing you life and by showing you the way to live in your destiny.
