Merry Christmas Dad

Christmas is not the same without my Dad. This was his favorite time of the year because he had a lot of goodies to eat. I have bought him chocolate covered cherries for so many years it just wouldn't have felt right not to buy them this year. Mom made sure Dad, Michael and Sierra had beautiful flowers for Christmas. Stacye sent a beautiful engraved ornament for us to put on the tree in his memory and it says Merry Christmas From Heaven and that he will be spending Christmas with Jesus this year. We will hang it in his memory every year. Below is a poem that my Mom wanted me to put on here:

In Our Hearts

We thought of you with love today
But that is nothing new
We thought about you yesterday
And days before that too
We think of you in silence
We often speak your name
Now all we have is memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is our keepsake
With which we will never part
God has you in His keeping
We have you in our heart.

We all love him and miss him very much, but I would not want him back to face what was ahead of him. God has truly shown us favor in sparing him from sickness and pain.

Merry Christmas Dad I love you.
