Always at this time of year I think about family and my Mom and Dad. They have been gone for 4 years and it is especially hard at Christmas. Before they passed away in 2001 I had spent every Christmas with them and it was always a time of quiet celebration and great joy. Not having them around makes me appreciate the times that we did spend together and challenges me to be a better person. Sometimes when I get down I just think what my Mom would say to me and I know that my Dad would give me a swift kick in the ass and tell me to “Shit or Get off the Pot” (His way of saying smarten up).
I miss you Mom and Dad
