January 2009

Gosh, December was quite a busy month! We decorated the tree but I didn't want to do the same "Angel" theme that I did last year in your honor. I just couldn't do that again, it was too hard emotionally. So we pulled out the "Snowman/Snow" themed stuff. I have decided that the photo frame I bought and put your photo in last year was going to be an annual ornament on our tree just like my "Angel Babies" ornaments. I found it rather difficult to remove your photo from the tree this year, in fact it was the very last ornament I removed.

Zach came home to visit for the holidays and he trimmed his beard and got a hair cut. I was so excited that I took him and Madison to have their pictures taken and they turned out AWESOME!
I can't believe he will be 20 in April and our little princess just turned 6 in December.

I really do miss you, sometimes more than others. I remember something vivid on Christmas Eve, it was rather warm here and I had to work and extra job for like 2 hours while everyone else went to church. I got off a bit early and wanted to do some last minute shopping at Kohl's as I was coming out the sky had this BEAUTIFUL pink'ish sunset in the sky. It totally caught me by surprise and I just a moment as ever since Madison said the summer after you went to heaven that you helped to "paint" the sunsets with Jesus (she remembers me telling her you loved to paint) Even as I write I can still see that vivid pink'ish sunset.

Mother, I miss you and I wish you were here!
I love you~
