Yesterday as we travelled back toward Dallas with Holly's parents we met up with my parents for lunch and had a great visit. It's always great to see their faces and hear stories about things that are going on in their daily lives.
Today we awoke to some upsetting news. Holly's grandfather had passed in the early morning hours. Today was also his birthday. We had already made arrangements to go celebrate his birthday, instead we went to celebrate his life. We spent the day hearing stories of his life, and the greatest story is the one that lives in each of the family members.
I was blessed to be raised by such a wonderful Christian family who drove home ethics, morals, and the Golden Rule. I was truly blessed to find a spouse whose family did the same for her.
This Christmas we are thankful for our entire family. We are spending Christmas day in Dallas and are looking forward to a wonderful time with Holly's family.
It is our 2nd Christmas together and we hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
