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
