Hi Mom, we went to the cemetary today and it is really looking nice! Debbie found the grave blankets and we put them on..one for you and one for Dad. Then she bought some pretty flowers, those look nice too. We know how you decorate for the holidays so we couldn't resist. We also got your tree up today. We put a few decorations around your house. We didn't put up the village, because of the little ones. Bryson is into EVERYTHING and Baby Seth is crawling now and climbs up to everything. So those two boys would take it down as fast as we put it up I am sure. I was worried that we wouldn't know where certain things went, but you were very organized and labeled alot of your decorations when you put them away last year. We sure miss you Mom. It is so hard not having you here with us. We try though...we all try and I am sure many of us put on a happy face because we know we have to. We do it for our families and because we know that is what you'd want us to do. You wouldn't want us to be sad all the time. Hey did I tell you Debbie's car is really nice?...you'd love it Mom! Shelley took it to the mall on Friday. You know...our annual day after Thanksgiving shopping spree? Yep, we went. Me and Shelley, Baby Seth, Alyssa, Jarrod, Beanie and Monster Bryson. The little ones were good. Bry was good, it was just hard with the stroller. The crowd and getting thru all the isles was hard, but we got some really good deals. I am about finished with my shopping. Tay is doing pretty good. She has another urinary infection though, so she is on antibiotics. I do not know why she is getting them so often now...poor girl! Her MRI is coming up..I am sure you will be looking down on her extra special on that day Mom. Well, I better get to bed. It is getting late and I have an early day tomorrow. I am going to sign off with a poem. I LOVE YOU MOM!! I MISS YOU VERY MUCH!! (((((HUGS))))) ****KISSES***** God saw you getting tired when a cure was not to be. He closed His arms around you and whispered "Come to me" In tears we saw you sinking, we watched you fade away. Our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay. But when we saw you sleeping so peacefully free from pain, We could not wish you back, to suffer so again. So keep your arms around her Lord And give her special care, Make up for all she suffered And all that seemed unfair.
