Hi Nolan, Ciara, Dylan:

Another year is coming to an end, and that year 2019 is approaching very fast.  As children, every year seems like a long time, and one day it will be actually be 2030 eventually.  The young years in all your lives play a significant role in who you will be in the future.  I was not physically available to be in each present day of your every day lives, whether it was watching you catch your first baseball in a real size mitt, hitting the ball in the outfield and getting a single, receiving an award at school for your achievements, your first field trip as a class, meeting your new friends, having a crush on another classmate, meeting your teachers as they describe what a wonderful person you each are, or even put a bandage on your bruise knee, your first hair style cut, meeting any of your pets if you have any, visiting your church were you pray, or every night or morning when you awoke or fell asleep, I could not give you hug or kiss, or even a way that showed on how much I am proud when you each drift away to sleep and dream of the many blessings each one of you each have.

Sometimes Christmas is about Santa Claus bringing many gifts under the Christmas tree.  Where ever you look at the Christmas tree today or even after the New Year, that tree will be put back in the box and it will be Christmas again till a whole new year.  Each one of you had vision the angel on top, the colourful lights across the tree or the branches that spread out to reach your face for the beauty of the Christmas tree.

Just remember even though that Christmas tree will be put away next week, each day when you are going to school or playing outside, I was with you from your mother’s love each day to not only celebrate this Christmas day occasion, but in every moment when you laughed and smiled throughout the year, or when you had a cough and running nose and stayed home from school.

Love Dad, XOXO

Nolan – Your big brown eyes are happy faces to me all day long.

Ciara – The cheerful moments with your smile, makes me have a fantastic day.

Dylan – Your tenderness and the warmth of your vision makes me energized each day.

Merry Christmas

Hi Nolan, Ciara, Dylan:

Well hello kids, how is it going?  Are you ready for Christmas as it’s almost here!  Have you seen Santa in the mall yet?  Did you sit on his lap, Nolan and Ciara your too big now.  Anyway, do you have many Christmas decorations around your house?  Hanging your stockings with your name on each one.  So Nolan, anything in particular that you want for Christmas?  A new hockey stick if you play hockey outside or maybe a musical instrument?  At 11 years old, I was more into video games than actually having toys.  Ciara, our little girl, with big smiles who is very cheerful who perhaps has red cheeks like Santa Claus.  Many toys that have come out, are toys I’ve seen in the flyers are the same as when you were like 4 years old still.  Any toy that you want this year?  Do you go shopping with the family?  Your mom loves clothes, and your probably now at the age were you like matching outfits with designer brands.  Dylan, you must be in the terrible two stage (hopefully not).  I just know that you are a bundle of you for the whole family.  Well, I will indeed write everyone another letter before Christmas, and I hope that your all doing well.

Love Dad. XOXO
