My Christmas letter to you, all i can say is that i miss you still!  I miss buying you gifts, I miss your laugh, and you not wanting to open gifts. And we forced you to do it. You just wanted us all together, and to have a great meal. I miss your smile, you picking on all your neices, and me too. I guess I just miss alot brother. We will be together again one day, and we will have lots of moments to catch up on. Lots of coffee to drink, meals to eat, and yes we will even share a dessert one more time. Till then....keep your arms open. Love ya!

Here it is another holiday without you. Why are they so hard just dont feel like celebrating them anymore. My pollyanna at work gave me a willow tree angel of mother and son. That will be going on your shelf. Cried like a baby again. I know you would want me to go on but why is it so dam hard? I miss you swiping the cookies I just told Bruce that I dont even feel like baking this year but you know I have to do Marys special butter toffee with the chocolate nad nuts vances snickerdoodles Kates Macaroons and Brits peanut butter ones. Have your little tree that used to be in your room it is now going on your shelf. Hope you and your angel friends are planning for a big party in heaven I love ya and miss you

You are missed this holiday season!  We picked out our tree this year, and another story to tell you. The girls just couldnt agree on one. So we had them pick their tree up that they liked, drag it out to the middle and stand side by side, I am sure you enjoyed the show from up above. How silly we always are. I didnt liek either tree, so we went to antoher store. There Kate found one she really liked, a tall, skinny one, just like you. (laugh) I was looking for a fat tree, love fat trees. I told Kate, ok let me go look over here at these trees. She stood there with her tree, like she was afraid someone was going to take it. I guess we took a little too long for her. She walked over to where we were with her tree. Now what kid drags a tree around the store. Not a small tree either, it must be at least 7 ft tall. I was still looking, and Britty agreed on Kates tree, so they took it up to be trimmed. I told Vance, well I guess we are done looking they are dragging the tree up to be cut. I guess they are sealing the deal. Our tree picking days always leaves me a story to tell you. How I wish you were here tho to enjoy it with us. And to hear you laughing as well. Although I know you would be helping your neices to drag the tree around the store. But the girls decorated it yesterday and it brought up the memory of how you and I always got stuck decorating the tree. How I hated it. But you always pulled us through it. We also put your picture on top of your tree with our angel. You are our Christmas angel as well. Never thought I would have to sit here and write you letters, and knowing you were taken from us way too soon. Britty asked yesterday if we are getting you xmas flowers, as your thanksgiving flowers just dried up. I told her we will. No worries, you get flowers every holiday. As long as there is a dollar in my pocket, you will always have your holiday flowers. I hope you have a wonderful holiday in Heaven with your new angel friends. Makes me feel at peace to know you are now part of something that no one can do you wrong. Please stop by our dreams, or even just a little visit during the holidays. You are missed brother, love you always!  Till we meet again..................

What a stressful time of year, i agree with mom. How you are truly missed. It seems as if we just havent seen ya in a while. It still hasnt hit me that you are physically gone from us. Oh how that breaks my heart. I do love having the dreams with you in them. Makes me feel like you are right there with me. Had one the other night that we were watching home videos of you. ONly if had some. I am blessed to have the voicemails.

As for this week, it has been really tough to say the least. I am sure you are watching over me from heaven above. Oh and yes, how we would of loved for you to tell them all how it is. wether right or wrong, you would just say it as it was needed to be said.

We had our cookie swap today with grams and mom and all the girls. And what a surprise, it snowed as well. We all made it home safely.

Christmas is right around the corner. I want to buy another ornament for you. It is so hard to find one for a brother. I swear they seem to not exist.  Kate bought a little xmas tree for your table. It is decorated and everything. We all miss you so much brother!  How we would love to just give you one more hug, even standingon our tippie toes, or to hear you talk to your neices the way you always teased them. Or to just give us all a call on the phone. And esp to hear your laugh. Boy how i miss that the most. Then i knew you were happy, even if you laughed at most everything. Big brother goodnight for now. Love ya, and please watch over your new angel friends and their families. They touch our hearts more then they can imagine. Love ya!

Well I miss my ladder child all 6 foot 4 inches of you. You would always hang the high stuff for me/ How you would supervise the tree trimming sneaking out to the kitchen and stealing cookies that you weren't supposed to have. You know that there is always drama this time of year and I miss you not setting people straight. You always told it like it was no matter who it was. I talk to you all the time and your hat is still on the knob where you left it. I hope you and your angel friends are getting ready to clebrate Jesus birthday with your angel friends. How I miss you and your funny smile and hearing you say mom I used to say I changed my name but now I would do anything to hear you call me one more time. Hug me one more time. I love ya
