Emilee loved Christmas.  She would always be ready to decorate the tree and decorate the house.  Her last Christmas on earth, December 2011, we had the best time.  She was so happy.  She received gifts that she loved. She was working at Kmart at the time and the day after Christmas she had to work early and I had to head to the airport to go back to Tennessee. She stopped by very early in the morning to have coffee with me.  The sun was not even up, no one else was up, just the Christmas tree lights and kitchen light on. We talked and laughed and I kidded her about how busy she would be with all of the returns from Christmas.  She hugged me and gave me a kiss on the cheek, as she always did.  She is my only child that gave me "kisses".  She left and I remember thinking how grown up she was and how proud of her I am. Christmas is very hard now.
