Well Dad we made it through Thanksgiving, which was not the same. Mom didn't make her ham and we didn't get to hear you razz her about how she burnt it..Christmas eve is just a day away and already emotions are flowing knowing we won't see you seating at the living entrance way watching all your kids and grand-kids opening presents.  Seeing the joy on your face as you look over your family

Which you loved so dearly. We may not be able to see you that night but I am sure your presence will be felt. Till we meet again Dad, love you!
