Merry Christmas 2006

It is the memories that allow us to celebrate Christmas with you still. My tears are a each a memory of the great times we shared. Eggnog under the tree while listening to Christmas carol's, riding around in our pajamas drinking cocoa - looking at all the beautiful lights around town...searching for pine tree droppings to fill our flower boxes in the front of the house...(thanks for the huge pine tree in my backyard now...I knew that was a gift from you when the house was built - no need for me to run around alone now - you have placed it right there for me and now your garden sits beneath it).

You will always be an amazing young man to me . Someone who taught me the gift of life when God gave you to me and when God took you back home again...I learned again...that life is very precious and truly something we embraced while you were here. I love you very, very much and that does not have to stop just because we cannot see each other. I feel you giving it back to us with all of the connections we still have and all the blessings we continue to encounter.

As you sit in heaven...as an Angel now...we celebrate Christmas in a new way...we celebrate not only the birth of Jesus but the birth of you becoming an Angel. We feel your guidance and love throughout the holiday. It is your gifts to us that allow us the strength to celebrate and rejoice.

We love you!!!!!!

Merry Christmas in Heaven Sweet Justin!!!!
