Merry Christmas, Lydia

It is our first Christmas without Lydia. As our family gathered, we lit a candle for her to represent our love for her and all our memories of her, as well as to acknowledge our grief and deep sorrow that she is gone.

Has it only been two weeks since she left us? It feels like years. I want so much to see her smile, to hear her laugh, to hold her close to me until she fusses, “Enough, Mom, let me go!”

It hurts so much to let her go.

Dear Kay and Charlie - you all have constantly been on my mind and heart. I'm still praying for you everyday.
Love to all, Carol
