Another Christmas has come and gone and it's not gotten any easier, we spent the day at Brian's watching the kids open presents, it's so different since you've passed and if you were here I know that you would be able to talk some sense into some of us and straighten things out because everyone listened to you dad. I have been so torn and heartbroken this last couple of years that I don't even know where to turn anymore or who to talk to because I can't explain all the feelings that I am feeling, I could sure use one of your hugs right about now.
Mom thinks each day that she's failing but she's the strongest person that I know and as you know she's not the one to talk to because she's so strong, I know that you are missing her and dream of the day that your back together but dad we still need her here with us a while longer please.
Oh these kids are all growing up so fast and the oldest two will graduate this year please watch over them, watch over all of them please, this new baby, Ruby Lucille, oh my gosh dad!! The Love is so strong and she smiles and laughs just looking at her and I just think my dad would love her to pieces, I know that you were here for this one because she's doing so well, better then expected and I just know that you and God had a hand in that. I just can't tell you enough at how sweet she is, like you always said they get more sweeter the more that came and the love grows and it's there and I could see grandma Nellie holding her and hear her laugh as she was looking at her just the same way as she did Beth Anne.
Charlie is the tallest of the entire family now dad and he was just a toddler when you passed, but him and Keerstan both have really shot up, Keerstan plays all kinds of sports and has grown into quite the young lady. Nellie as I said received a car so 3 have cars now and I know you would of loved to of driven the country roads with them teach them how to drive. Keerstan and Charlie are old enough to get their permits and probably will come spring and will be driving.
Raymond is Raymond he loves making videos on his phone and sharing them with people, he only needs a few hundred more followers and he will start getting paid for making them.
I'm sure your Christmas was a little brighter since most of your family is all together and what a family Christmas you all must of had, I'm so happy for all of you. I'll close for now dad and never forget that I always love and miss you today as much as the day you left. Love Brenda
