I wish I could say this photo was taken today. This was taken about 3 days before Christmas last year. I found it on my Dad's computer tonight and decided to share it with you. I love the warm tone of the photo and the memory of the warmth of Tyler's arm around my shoulder.
We had our holiday gathering at Dad and Ginny's house this year and a good time was had by all...all 45 of us!! We had good wine, LOTS of good food, good coversation...more wine. Martine, Ali, Chuck and I sang a few songs for the group, and everyone joined us in a few carols as well. We all missed Mabel, Katherine, Larry and Tyler very much, but I know there were with us today. I imagined giving them each a hug and a smile as they arrived. I imagined hanging on to Tyler and giving him a big kiss on the cheek as he groaned in mock disgust. It was all nice to imagine, but it's not as good as the real thing. The missing will always be there, but they are forever with us, in our hearts.
