The Ones We Built.

{Me, Dad, Missie and Buffie - 1986-ish}

It's a sweet day when a message in my inbox reads something like this:

Hollie,

.....I love so much the memories of little kids running around getting excited about the decorations we were pulling out of storage, the excitement in their eyes as I hung lights on the house, the wrapping of gifts knowing they were so excited to know what was inside, the building of ginger bread houses, the watching of Christmas specials on TV, and many more. Oh how I love the memories of my children around my home. Just thinking of these memories is bringing tears to my eyes....I think of you and Lissie and how each of you are starting your families and the traditions you will build. It brings a warm feeling because I love the ones we built...I look forward to seeing you in a week and the time we will spend together.

Love you lots!!!!

Dad

Aren't we blessed to know that life with our families can be one eternal round?

For this, I am so thankful.
