Christmas was wonderful as always, and as always you are right in the middle of it with us.
Ethan had his precious Kendall with him, they were married in October you know, and they just make us all laugh and feel thankful and blessed to be around them. Their love radiates.
You are always missed, especially your big hugs, but your big heart and laugh and silliness will always be a part of everything we do as a family. Can hardly wait to go see Kevin James!!!! You two are so much alike you are almost twins. Dad and I watched a TV episode the other night and laughed our heads off even as we wiped the tears :).
We all look forward to the day we can be wrapped in each others arms again.
I love you forever,
To eternity and beyond my beautiful, precious, Smiling Eyes Son.
