Holidays

Well the holidays are here and I am looking forward to Christmas,
and longing for the days when we went shopping for our kids Christmas presents.
Going to town, amid the sounds of Christmas everywhere, and returning home to wrap and hide the kids gifts.
Something that will not happen again. Our kids are grown and out shopping for their kids.
Not having kids around takes a lot of the joy out of Christmas.
I remember putting flour on the soles of my shoes, making tracks from the fireplace to the Christmas tree.
I remember the kids putting out cookies for Santa and I know Santa enjoyed them.
So I say to all my kids, I hope you still have these memories too.
Remember that I still love you and I always will.
To my loving wife, I thank you for all those wonderful years you have given to me.
I love all of you more than life.
Merry Christmas.

Life

Well everybody else is posting, so I thought it's about time for me to post again. Over the last few months I have had many things happen in my life. My wife, whom I love very much has had two cancer surgeries. She had thyroid cancer. She still has to have more tests to see how it is, but we both feel that it is going to be okay. I wont tell all the things she had to go through. For
that information you will have to read Mamaws world.

She is the most positive person I know. She takes everything in stride. She is also the most loved person I know. This I know because I am the person who loves her that much. I love her with all my heart, We have been married almost forty-seven years but that isn't near enough. We have a complete family. Two sons, one daughter, ten grandsons and three granddaughters. I love them all.

I am a seventy one year old man and I am still working full time. I may retire someday, I don't know. I like my job and I am healthy, but I am thinking about selling my house and moving to Oklahoma. I am closing for now. I will let you Know how everything comes out. Pray for us. Prayer changes everything.
