Hi mom. Well Christmas is almost here. I really do not enjoy the holidays at all without all of us being together. Dad misses you a lot around these times especially. He fell at the cabin the other day. When Tim called me I was terrified. It is so hard being without you and I cannot imagine being without dad too. We are going to spend the day at the cabin the day after Christmas. We all miss you very much. By the way thanks for the sunshine on the tree while we were looking for one. It looks really good at the cabin. Dad and I are going to send money up to grandma for her to get a gift for herself and also to put flowers on grandpas and scott's site. I hope you are telling them how ridiculous they were for doing such a thing. I will go to the farm and put up the wreath that they got for you last year and maybe Tim and I can put up lights around the memorial. I hope I am making you proud. Hugs and kisses. Love you
