As much as I love Thanksgiving and Christmas, I am thankful they're past...at least for another year.  There was such an ache in my heart throughout the entire month of December...I just wanted the holidays to be past and behind me yet it seemed the month drug by ever so slowly.  Trying to stay upbeat and festive for the sake of my children was difficult, but we made it through.  We smiled...we laughed...but we couldn't help thinking about the one person who was missing. 

I've never known a loss before that has hurt as much as this!  Someone asked the question, "What do you do when your whole world is crumbling around you?"  My response, "Keep your eyes on Jesus!"
