My Dear Sweet Robert,
Merry Christmas, my love! How I missed you today. I can only imagine what a Christmas celebration in Heaven might be like. Of course, you most certainly get to celebrate and praise Jesus each and every day. But I do wonder, if where you are, if the celebration is extraordinary on this very special day, commemorating the birth of the baby Jesus in Bethlehem, on a night, two thousand eight years ago. I would imagine it is.
Today, you are spending Christmas in Heaven, for the second year. Last year is almost a blur to me, as Christmas came just four days after we held your Celebration of Life service.
Now that I have had the benefit of a whole year passing by, and have had to celebrate many holidays and special days without you by my side, I believe I have a deeper perspective. I still miss you deeply.
For the Christmas holidays, I drove over to Blythe & Jahnette's home in Destin. It was fun to watch the excited faces of Andrew, Bailee, Gabriela and Kendall on Christmas morning.
I gave Andrew a special picture of you with a poem, "Grandpa's Gone to Heaven". As we read the words on the poem, I could imagine your voice reading the poem to Andrew. He was really touched with the gift. You had a real influence on him. He will remember you for always. Thank you for loving him and for loving Bailee, Gabriela and Kendall also. They all miss you.
We spent the evening at Grace's house. She is gravely ill. I was privileged to hold her hand and read scriptures to her. We prayed together for Jesus to come into her heart. She is so weak, she could barely speak, so I prayed the words. Then I asked her if she understood what we had prayed. She nodded her head yes. We asked him for strength and healing for her. Please ask God to send an angel of protection and a covering of peace around her. Also, for Grace's children, Jahnette, John and Lisa. They have some difficult decisions to make very soon. They need your divine wisdom in making these crucial decisions on how to provide the best care possible for their Mom.
I've been wondering if you have "bumped into" a man named, Virgil Hott. Today, is is first heavenly birthday. His wife, Peggy and I have been brought together, by God, and we have become dear friends. It is our hope & joy that you are "hanging around" together. We think the two of you have a lot in common. We spoke today, by phone, and laughed as we thought of the two of you having a marvelous Christmas Day in Heaven.
We will join both of you one day, when God calls us home.
Please Know That You Were Always Loved, and Will Never Be Forgotten
