Pamela Joy,
Watching the grandchildren open their Christmas morning presents, I realized that I had just as much fun watching your face and excitement while you watched them. It was only half the fun without your smile and laughter.
I cooked breakfast, but there was no one to brown eggs for this year. Lee commented that this was the best Christmas breakfast ever. I was not hungry nor did what I ate taste very good, but I smiled at Lee’s compliment and thanked him.
Text greetings came. My favorite was from my brother and sister. We playfully went back and forth. Now I am watching a Christmas movie on Hallmark. Love always cheers me.
I expected it to be worse today. The hole you left in my life is more noticeable today than yesterday, but it’s not unbearable. I am glad to know you still affect me. I want to hold the memories of you forever because our love was great.
I think of you today, worshipping at the feet of Jesus around the crystal sea. What a Christmas! I can’t even imagine how beautiful it is there in heaven. Merry Christmas would be a step back for you. So, I will wish you,
Glorious Worshipping,
Brad
Merry Christmas Brad. Thanks for sharing.
Brad,
Thank you so much for sharing this post! You just don’t know how much it meant to me! My Daddy has been gone 11 yrs now and Christmas with the boys seems to make me miss him more ever year now. I just know how he would have loved having little boys to do things with. Colt reminds me a lot of my Daddy. He can figure out anything mechanical in no time . He also tends to try to work on his big Lego sets without ever consulting the directions. Most of the time the directions just bore him!! 😂 I know though that Daddy will meet the boys one day in heaven and until that
day he is worshiping Jesus and volunteering to help build the mansions in heaven!
In the last year I have had 7 friends that have lost spouses. I am happy that you are able to rejoice that Pam is having a wonderful Christmas worshiping Jesus. Everyone grieves differently but , I know you have to remember what God promises for each of us in eternity. Knowing that is a comfort to me as I grieve the loss of these friends and family.
We have you in our thoughts and prayers! I hope we can get together soon!
Beth
