This was our second Christmas without Gracie - it is a "double" dose of grief as her birthday and Christmas are so close together. It was a good day with all the grandkids - but we are always aware of who is missing. I had some time to talk w/my daughter today about what she was feeling - I am glad we talked - it helps. This grief is something that will always be with us - it won't end. It has evolved to where I now think it will always be... we will always miss her and wish she were here. We will always wonder what she would be like now and we will imagine it for awhile and then we will tuck her back inside our hearts - our forever angel.
Thinking of You with Love
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.
All we have are 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 hearts.
A million times we`ve wanted you.
A million times we cried.
If love could only have saved you,
you never would have died.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
But you didn`t go alone.
For a part of us went with you...
the day God called you Home.

Merry Christmas in heaven Gracie - we love you - forever and always!!!
