Normally you would just be coming through the door... shouting out instructions to all three of us at once. You would stop and tell me that my tree is absolutely beautiful then you would holler out clear the way, and we would all move out of the way so you could get to the kitchen. You would let me taste everything you brought and you would taste everything I made then we would pick out the movie for the evening. You would sit and play a video game with Kyser or just sit and soak him in and he would do the same with you and we would all apologize that the gifts werent more or enough. But it was always enough, it was always more than enough. And Id given anything to have enough again for just one more minute. This year, I have memories and they arent enough, quite honestly. But I know that you are having the most amazing Christmas celebration ever, celebrating with the Father and the Son, hearing the angels sing and seeing first-hand why the holy night was the holiest of all nights. Our celebration will pale in comparison to yours... we will put on the brave face and try to make up for you being gone with gifts and food and forced smiles. But deep inside my heart, Mom, there is a little pinpoint of light that pushes me take a deep breath, step outside of my humanness and celebrate your celebration. So if you get a moment with the Heavenly Father, please ask Him for some of that amazing grace to rain down on me today because the brightest part of my Christmas is now standing in front of Him. I love you and I miss you...
