The after math

Can I just say how very very quiet it is around my house. For two months we had laughter, crying, screaming and every other sound that cute little ones make. Oddly enough I miss all those sounds. We had a great time being together, I love the Christmas season it is my favorite time of the year. I have to say that I did miss talking with my Dad this year, I am just grateful that my mom is still here, with her illness she had, we about lost her in September and I am so very grateful I still have her here and I could talk with her. Having all my family around really helped keep my mind off of how much I miss Dad. It is very hard losing a parent, never imagined it would be so hard. But with the faith and knowledge that I have that I can see our loved ones again, does ease the pain. I miss hearing him give my kids or grand-kids a knuckle sandwich, he was famous for knuckle sandwiches when the kids were acting up or maybe just because they were standing there. I am ready to start this new year and hoping that it will be a better one, I am not to fond of 2009 with the exception of Daniel returning home, Lucas being born and Chantelle joining our family. Here's to 2010.
I miss you Dad!!!!!

It was a great Christmas. I'm sure it is pretty quiet around there. I miss Grandpa too. Grandma came to church with us yesterday to hear my talk. It was fun to have her there with us. Love you lots! I can send Ellie down your way anytime if you need some noise!

I have been thinking of you- I am not so great at giving you a call- but I want you to know that I love you and admire you!
