This is the final picture of the tree and my beautiful children. Putting the stuff up without their Dad felt so weird and so wrong. I think if I can get through the holidays I will be ok but right now it just feels like someone is missing. The person that hung the lights is gone...I still have a stocking with his name on it...oh gosh so many things that become "tradition" are just gone...just like that...gone:-( The kids didn't even seem to notice and just got caught up in the excitement..Father I pray that I can just be like my kids and get caught up in the excitement and be thankful for all that I have and not what I am missing because this hurts...
