Merry Christmas, Jennifer
Hi, sweetheart. Christmas won’t be the same without you this year, but we
will remember the many memories of our 19 years spent with you so much.
All I wish for Christmas is to have you back with us, but knowing that is
impossible I will settle for a letter to you: God will hopefully hand-deliver it
in time for the holiday.
I missed having you being here to help me with my Christmas shopping.
You always had a sense of what your mom liked, etc. However, I managed
okay, I think you were probably helping me. Your mom will love the gift
you sent her from Heaven! Sarah, too!
You mom has done a lot of baking this week; uncooked cake, date squares,
etc. Surprised, eh? You like it?
Our traditional Christmas get-together will be at your Uncle Steve’s place
this year. We don’t know how we will handle it, but will cross that bridge
when we come to it. Don’t you worry!
Sarah is doing okay, still dating Brian (who has really helped her improve in
study). We all know she misses you mostly at nights, when you two would
do so much talking at that moment. She misses her big sister’s advice as well
as odd spat between both of you! Remember?
I have to go to the cemetery tomorrow and shovel snow, in case some of the
family want to visit your grave site. We decorated the poles, hung a white
and paper cranes and a few bells for you to hear when the wind blows and
their ding – dong will please your ears. It really looks nice. Remember to
wake up and enjoy! Jenny, we all know Patrick misses you much, and you
miss him, too. Sorry I wasn’t more supportive of your relationship; that will
bother me until I can apologize in person.
I’m sorry you never got to experience the Internet, Jenny. But I do believe
that you would have loved it! I have met some wonderful people online,
