Pre 2013 it was my favorite time of the year, I was "Clark Griswold" lights all over the house, multiple trees in the house (western, chili, barbie, traditional and Harley Davidson) inflatables, Santa, his sleigh and a couple of reindeer in the yard, hand made wooden angels, and did I mention lights all over the house?
My little helper wasn't there to help anymore, but his tree was still up (he never took it down) and the empty just sucked the joy and excitement out of the season.
I know he's looking in on that little girl of his, but at Christmas it's just not the same as having him right there next to her helping her open her presents, seeing the joy in her eyes when she would look at him and seeing that hug between the two of them.
I don't know if you ever saw the movie "Nine Months" but I'd give anything to see him dancing with that little girl or to hold him just one more time. http://youtu.be/_lyve_egY8o
I'm trying to let it back in and maybe someday it will be there again, but for now, I'll just put on my happy face, enjoy the grand kids and muddle through another year without him here.
