The Gift…

At the end of the service with the lights off, we held candles while singing “Silent Night”. In that soft glow I watched his crystal blue eyes tear up, I listened to his raspy voice sing the words and when I looked past him, I saw my mother watching us and smiling. These people that gave me life, and helped me become the woman I am today taught me that the love of family and making memories is more important than anything else.
