Christmas Options

[BabyHenry]

Dearest Henry:

I guess its because it is the first Christmas time without you, but I’m missing you a lot. I remember how your would wear your “jingle collar” and run down grandma’s hallway and sound like a reindeer. I remember how you liked to sit under the tree and were transfixed by the sparkly lights. (You would stare at them all night until they went off, then come to bed). I remember how you would open your own presents (I have a really cute picture of that!).

Miss you always more than I can express. Love you forever.

It coming up on 8 months now, and it is still pretty hard.

I visited my parent's house in FLorida last weekend, (I used to bring him with me) and it made me sad to see all the places in their back yard where he used to hang out: - under a palm tree, pretending to be jungle cat, - on the tile edge of the pool, watching us swim, - on my mom’s “good” silk sofa (she’d pretend to be mad, but wasn’t really because she loved you too).

Miss you so much, dear friend. Love you always.
