We Made It

Well, we all did it, we got through the first Holiday season without you.  Not sure how, but we did.  Actually, I know how - we pulled together and just did it, which is what you would have wanted.  We all miss you terribly.  We went to see you on your birthday and had a nice dinner at Olive Garden in your honor.  It was a good day, a nice day.  Heartwrenching obviously but good nonetheless.  99% of the time I find myself thinking of you and smiling, somehow it doesn't tear my heart out like I thought it would.  I miss you so much and there's a picture of you, Tor and me hanging on the board next to my desk that I look at I couldn't tell you how many times a day.  That one makes me misty eyed everytime but it also is a great picture that reminds me of so many good memories.  No one outside of your grandchildren understand what it was like having a Nona like you, except my sweet nieces who have a Nona just the same.  We were all so blessed to have you in our lives.  I guess I've just said all this to say Thank You.  For being who you were, for being with us through the Holidays - showing us you were watching over us, and for loving us as you did.  I love you.  I miss you.  Everyday.

Xoxo
