Homecoming 2008

A Box of Hope

Nearly six months have passed since I said goodbye,

Not a day has gone by that I haven't cried.

I thought it would be easier as time went on,

Instead it is tougher for me to admit you're gone.

It's why you are still on my Christmas list,

And I have been trying to think of a perfect gift.

I crumble realizing you won't be there,

The house will feel empty, sad and bare.

Sweet memories will fill our hearts, they say,

But they can't take my grief away.

Winter is coming, the air is getting brisk,

And the warmth of your presence is truly missed.

So, I'll pick out a gift and wrap it with care,

I'll place it under your tree and leave it there.

If you can open it, you will find,

A box of hope to your heart from mine.

Going to the beauty shop

Nicholas got his ears lowered and Love got her hair beautiful. My friend, Tonya did their hair. I thought Nicholas' was getting too long and shaggy, but looking at this picture, it was rather sweet like that. Oh, well....he feels like a big boy with his new look! And Love looks marvelous.
