Strong Memories

Today as I sat at my daughter's home, watching all my grandchildren gather around so we could begin what has been a family tradition for 22 years plus...
I couldn't help be filled with sadness, knowing that there were just a few more times if any that this will ever happen again.

The children are growing up, college and their own adventures of life will be beginning soon...

As life should be.... but I sit and quietly wonder... what will their lives be like without me...

We laugh, play with the dogs, open presents and the pain in my heart begins to fill as painful as the pain I feel in my body.

I have so much pain today that I want to cry.... I mean just bawl my heart out...but I smile through the tears and remember....

My first Christmas with my daughter.... my first Christmas with each new grandchild.

I remember the last Christmas with my parents and the first with out them..

Today I am grateful for the ability to remember..... for as long as you remember no one is ever gone.
