Christmas Time of Year

This is the season "to be jolly," this is the season "to be merry," this is the season of "happy holidays." None of these apply this year because this is the "Christmas Time of Year" for the very first time in 38 years without Roy. It will never be the same "time of year," ever again in my life, our lives. I am mindful that it is also a time to "count your blessings," and I am glad of the many blessings I do have to "count," and I do count them again, as always, and especially so at this "Christmas Time of Year". A very wise friend wrote "I have no words to comfort you." I totally agree. -Jeanne

You still made it fun and warm and full of love, Mom, and you brought us Dad's love too by keeping traditions going. Thank you.

Certainly did not feel much like Christmas without him. Certainly didn't feel much like Christmas, period. Certainly didn't feel like much more than any other day. Thank goodness for the love of family and friends to help us move forward together. We have his love and life lessons to guide us and be so thankful for.
Love u.
Michelle

Hi kids, It's New Year's Eve and I'm thinking of you all, of course, and of your Daddy/Blue-eyed Gramdpa too. I hope you're safe and warm wherever you are and that you will have a great 2009. I love you. xos tiab :-) Love, Mommy/Sweet Grandma
