December 25th...10 months

December 25th will mark 10 months for life without you with us and we're all trying to figure out how to navigate through this time of year.  It was definitely your favorite because of all that Christmas means.  Baby Jesus and celebrating His birth, family, music, Believing, traditions, laughter and the list goes on.  Recently, Sally gave me a new song to listen to on my way to Columbia.  She said it will probably make you cry but that's ok, there is nothing wrong with crying.  She's right but I really don't care to cry around people, when possible I prefer it in private.  So the ride to Columbia was a perfect time.  The song, Scotty McCreery's "Wonder what Christmas in Heaven is like?" definitely got my crying but also thinking.  Having you as my sister certainly helps me imagine what Christmas in Heaven is like.  It's the best Birthday party ever!  But this is what I think of because of Cindy...
Celebrating Jesus' birth
Family gathered together
Friends expressing their love
Snow covered cabin
Fireplace lit
Carolina football
Jeep rides out in the country
Ice cold Ultra
Four-wheeler ride around the pond 
A run by the river with Jacob, Anna or Addie
A walk on the beach at Edisto
Making the holidays extra special for someone
Smiles
Talks late into the night...or actually early morning
Those are just a few of the things I think about when I think of what Christmas in Heaven is like with you in it.
Love ya Sista!  I'll be back on real soon-
