I have the most amazing family! We had Christmas at Erica and Ken's house last night. I knew it was going to be difficult, as today makes two months since Greg left us. As I sit here ugly crying, I can't help but think about how much he loved his family and seeing the joy on their faces at Christmas.
I just need to share a few of the many beautiful gifts I received last night. All my gifts were wonderful and so very thoughtful, but there are three that I will forever treasure more than anything in this world.
This is a beautiful leather bracelet that Johnny and Annie gave me. It holds Greg's wedding ring.
On the back, it says "Love Old Man" in his writing. I used to tease him and call him Old Man because he was 9 years older than me, and he always signed his cards that way.
The last picture is one I will treasure forever! I stepped outside for a few minutes and the kids closed the curtains on the patio door and locked me out. When they let me back in, I found my beautiful, loving, awesome family all dressed in Greg's Zubaz!!!! I didn't even realize that's what they did, and it took me a minute to see the pants! Even my mom was wearing a pair! Unbeknownst to me, when Aaron and Rachel were here earlier in the day, Aaron raided my closet and dresser to find some extra pairs of Greg's Zubaz for them to wear, so they had planned this for a while!
I love my family so much! And now I'm ugly crying again.
