I was sitting here thinking of Christmas Eves past. Troy’s mother would always spend the night with us when the children were little. So many wonderful memories tucked away. My how things have changed. The holidays are very different after you lose your spouse. They look different, feel different because they are forever changed. But I’m thankful that I can pull a memory out whenever I need some comfort. When we are children we think our lives will always be the same, but there’s so many changes we go through over the years. We lose our loved ones along the way, and when we do we go through many changes. Some are very painful. Tomorrow we will go to our daughters home for Christmas. Troy won’t be there in person but he will be in spirit. I’m thankful for Melvin to now share all those important days with. Troy would be very happy that we are spending his favorite holiday with family. Thank you God.
