mom, we miss you terribly, this your first Christmas in heaven. not a day goes by that all of your family aches for you. these holidays seem especially hard, you were the light that was always the life of every gathering. we know you are watching over us, especially dad. with every dish I prepare, I feel you with me, thanks mom for helping to make me who am I today. ill leave a place at the table for you, we will all feel your warmth and love,,,,,,
