Christmas Joy
Have made fudge, making butter tarts and peanut butter chocolate cookies today. Getting out all the equipment, making the filling and the cookie dough brings such a tide of emotions. You always, always helped honey. You loved doing it. You kept the dishes cleaned up as I baked. You were such a huge help and such a huge inspiration. I miss you so very, very much.
I am keeping it together (most of the time) during this time of family and renewal of our beliefs and spirit. I think how disappointed you would be if I (in affect) canceled Christmas. (I have had moments of thinking that might me a could idea)
Going over to Ray and Shel's for Christmas eve, staying all night and probably the next night too. I know you will be with us. I see your smiling face constantly, and it will be particularly bright on Christmas morning . . . I know!
You brought us all such joy and left us with such warm memories. I only wish I had had the chance to tell you how much I loved you before you left us. It was so sudden. I know you know that, but I will tell you again now . . . I love you more than you could know, and thank you for you! No one could ever be what you were to me, ever. You were the most patient, loving, kind, and generous person I have ever known. Everyone who knew you still talk about your amazing kindness and gift of making everyone comfortable in any situation.
Do you remember the day Rev. Barb said to me, "I hope you appreciate that man he is one of a kind?" I told her you bet I do! I told you about it after the fact and you got embarrassed. You didn't know what you meant to me, the family and all your friends. I think that is true of all the good souls here on earth.
Merry Christmas honey!
