We all missed you on Christmas, my Love. But not to fear: we celebrated and enjoyed ourselves instead of dwelling out loud on the one who could not be with us, although I could feel how much everyone was missing you.
I feel bad for making Mom cry so much with the cards and gifts. I signed her card "in loving memory of John" and gave her a framed photo of your Navy portrait. They are supposed to be loving keepsakes, and I hope that in time they can bring her and Dad more smiles than tears.
I got cards from Arlette and Phil, Rhonda, Pat and Jeanette, and Betsy. All were thinking of you and wishing me peace. I hope that Chris was able to pick up your affects from Dad this evening. I was sorry to miss him and Michelle and the kids on Christmas.
I am with Michael and TJ again this week. Reverend Kasandra (who presided over the wedding back in April) is ill with terminal cancer and is in hospice care. I will be going with them to visit her this week. I also wanted to celebrate our 7th wedding anniversary with them. I thought it would help make the celebration happy and loving. We're going to Bravo's. It's a nice Italian restaurant here in Pittsburgh. I think you would like it.
Sometimes I miss you so much that it feels like there is a hole inside me the size of the universe. And sometimes I miss you and can smile and feel strong at the thought of all the wonderful moments we cherished. May the latter come to fill the former.
I love you, meine Engel. Merry Christmas and happy seventh anniversary!
