Thinking of you Daddy at Christmastime

Ok, Jesus hold back my tears and still my stomach, here I go. Hi Daddy I love you. Guess what I did today? When I was a young girl it was always a tradition for you and I to go get the Christmas tree. Mommy always had a live one. I cant describe what joy I felt as I walked proudly beside you Dad to get our tree. Christmas was close because mom always got the tree 1-2 weeks before Christmas. Well, today Daddy your grandson Reese and I went to get the tree together and if I can help it every year from this holiday forward for as long as the dear Lord allows we will get the tree together. As I typing this I just got a wif of the pine smell and if not careful it could bring me to tears. I deem that tree your tree daddy because every time I look up at it I think back of holidays shared with you. Pssst, daddy I put a bowl of walnuts out at Thanksgiving in your memory. I am about to run and get one of your picture ornaments from the tree in the dinning room and hang it on your tree here in the living room. Just know Daddy that I love you and not a day goes by nor a holiday passes that I don't think of you and carry you in my spirit. Merry CHRISTmas in Heaven Daddy. I miss you more than words could describe.

Thanksgiving 2017

Another holiday without you daddy is not easy but I have to push on, right? This year Thanksgiving is at my house, my new one. A lot has changed since you been gone Daddy but its all good. God is good! Hard to believe that the last Thanksgiving I shared with you was four years ago. I made two butter cakes Daddy. I am sooo glad you got a piece on Thanksgiving 2013. I have that memory. I love and miss you soooo much Daddy. I know its hard for mom and the kids during this time as it is for me but we celebrate and gather thinking of you and keeping you with us. Each year I set the bowl of Walnuts out in your memory I know you loved them at holiday time. Every time I watch Snoopy and Charlie Brown I think of you and laugh. I know I started collecting Snoopy because of our love for him. Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol hits me the hardest. I watch during holiday time just to close my eyes and recapture that feeling that I had as a child growing up anticipating the arrival of Christmas with you and Mommy. I am so grateful to God for the memories. I am a blessed woman! It is 5:16 am I have been up since 4 am. I woke up thinking about you and making this blog post. You be forgotten, fat chance. I have a part of you in my DNA. I have a part of you in my Spirit. I have a part of you in my Heart. I'm almost certain there are no Christmases in Heaven because you are with Christ. I love you Daddy and I always will. As we gather today for Thanksgiving rest assured you are on our minds and in our hearts. You are with us unseen. We love you!
