My family has finished unwrapping gifts and the children are busy playing with their new toys, but it does not feel like Christmas. I can't shake the feeling of just wanting the day to be over, because there were gifts under our tree for everyone but Handsome. There are four happy kids playing this morning, but we are a family with five children. One of us is gone and no matter how hard I try to enjoy the season I just can't stop thinking of my forever toddler, alone in a cemetery on this cold Christmas day.
Last weekend, before my family headed off for Disney, we had the opportunity to lay a wreath on Handsome's grave thanks to the organization Wreaths Across America. It was a very beautiful experience.
I miss my baby Handsome more everyday. All I want for Christmas is to touch his face one more time. I hope all my friends, family, and readers not only enjoy their day with each other today, but cherish it. Make memories today that will last a lifetime, because you never know if it's going to be your last Christmas together. We sure didn't know last year that it would be our last with Handsome.
