Last night I was scrolling through what I had recorded. I scrolled down and there it was A Year Without A Santa Claus. All the memories came rushing back. The the tears started to fall for how much will be missed this year. Remember when all of us were little we used to watch it every year? Even as we turned into adults and went out separate ways, we would call each other and let the other know when it was going to be on, so we could record it. I wish that I could bring you back to stop all the pain that mom, your children and many of us are having. It is immeasurable pain and tears. I know you are happy now with no more pain, but you are so missed. Love yo

Waking up this morning was not the same, without you here, just echoes of your name. No Happy Thanksgiving call from you, how will we all stumble happily through. This is so hard for us who remain, as we are still dealing with all the pain. I know your happy and at peace where you are, but the loss of you has left a painful scar, I hope you are celebrating with dad up there, I hope you know how much we care. I love you sis, you live in my heart, and the memories we share will never depart. Happy Thanksgiving!

I love and miss you so much, I keep expecting you to call with your favorite phrase for me “Hi Mom, I got a question”.
You would be so proud today, I know how much you were looking forward to Tony graduating, but I know you are looking down on us all the time.
We will be together again someday!
I love you,
Mom
