I'll admit, Christmas has not been the same since you have been gone. When we all get together, I often look around and wonder what it would be like if you were still here. I can see you laughing and joking. I know Noah, Eli, Gus, Freddy, and Ella would love you.
Every year, I still hang your Christmas stocking that Aunt Kathy made for you. I put your stocking, with your name on it, right in the middle of all of ours.
We don't have the old Christmas tree anymore. However, I did make night lights out of the bubble lights. I've given many away as gifts. I made a little memory tree using some of the ornaments from the old tree.
Keeping with our Christmas tradition, I still make most of the same things I made when you were here. I make the peanut butter chocolate candy. Joe has given this candy a name now. Crack! The Kiss and Snowball cookies are still a hit. Of course, you won't forget the party mix! If you can believe it, I still use the same bowl to make the dip and crackers we enjoy on Christmas Eve.
So much has changed since you've been gone. But I try to keep some of our Christmas traditions going.
Your grave is decorated for Christmas. It's not much, but I hope you know how much you are loved.
Merry Christmas in Heaven, Todd.
Remember how I led you on this long journey. Deuteronomy 8:2
