Searcher girlfriend...you need to write. I was teary eyed the whole way through. I feel like I just got back from the mountains. You are gifted and I mean that with all my heart.

I fell in love with your son. I already loved you. He is absolutely a dear. Revel in his attentiveness.

I bet Nicole wa honored by the way you two chose to spend the holiday. I can't wait to read about your Christmas.

Searcher, by the way...you're an inspiration. You would never know you were suffering the loss of a daughter by reading your post. You're a remarkable woman and I pray you stay focused on the blessings.

Vi, thanks for the reminder that our loved ones who have passed from this earth are still with us. That's so improtant for this time of year.

Jackie, time does heal wounds...doen't it?
