And so this is Christmas...

I haven't written in awhile..life has a way of side-tracking a person and there's been a lot of side tracks♥The house is coming along,slowly but surely.I've taken up painting murals and such,the creative flow helps with my grief.I'm no top notch artist but the kids love their beach themed play room so far even tho it's not done yet.My son is leaving for Navy boot camp in 4 weeks so we're enjoying our time with him still home. I pray he is safe in his journey as I pray for all those serving in the military and for their families.I am very proud of the man he has become,proud of all my children,despite the speed  bumps we've gone over in our life,they've turned out pretty alright♥I've had Danny heavily on my mind ,this will be our second Christmas without him.The tree is up,the house decorated ,presents bought,wrapped and hidden away for Santa's arrival..but it feels "hollow".Danny's not here to share it with us.I guess every Christmas will feel this way but I keep it to myself,the kids deserve to have happy Christmas's even tho I know they miss him too,they are still kids and they will have families of their own someday and those Christmas's should be happy one's as well.I made a new ornament for him this year but didn't hang it on the tree it's decorating my computer desk instead,he was such a handsome kid.On silent nights ,when friends are few.I sit alone and think of you.A silent night,a silent tear,a silent wish that you were near.Always be grateful for those whom you love & cherish.These are the angels sent to us throughout our lives,often we think we are here for them,often they are really here for us,to teach us things,to enrich us,to bless our lives.Merry Christmas my sweet angel ,someday we will dance together amongst the angels you and I♥
