A Very Merry Christmas

The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree: the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other."
-- Burton Hillis

Happy Birthday

Today my heart is heavy and full of memories. My beautiful Grandmother would have celebrated her 81st birthday today. In years past we would all gather for her special day at Big Bubbas BBQ. We would have such a fun time with her and all of our family together.
I grew up seeing my grandmother every single day. She was very involved in my daily life and was always there to offer love and support. She was a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother. I am truly blessed to have had her in my life. What a beautiful example of a lady she was.
Happy Birthday Grandma, please tell Grandpa I miss him terribly too. May you both rest forever with Jesus.

Friendship

As I look back on all that's happened..growing up, growing together, changing you, changing me -- there were times when we dreamed together, when we laughed and cried together. As I look back on those days, I realize how much I truly miss you and how much I truly love you. The past may be gone forever..and whatever the future holds, our todays make the memories of tomorrow. So, my lifetime friend, it is with all my heart that I send you my love, hoping that you'll always carry my smile with you, for all we have meant to each other and for whatever the future may hold.
