Merry Christmas

This year we obviously have plenty to be thankful for. Our little girl is making tremendous headway. Of course we would like to have her in Mommy’s tummy still, but we have to play the cards we’ve been dealt. This morning she was switched back to the original CPAP that she had on Tuesday. She seems to be doing much better on it this time and hopefully we don’t have to do anymore switching around until she comes off of this.

Even though we are very joyful and thankful for what McKenna has given us, our hearts are still very heavy this Christmas as we spend our 2nd one without our son Ian. We were given this poem last year and it’s called, Christmas with Jesus.

Christmas With Jesus

I see countless Christmas trees around the world below
With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular; please wipe away the tear,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, but
The sounds of music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,
For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me; I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not so far away, we really aren’t apart.
So be happy for me love ones, you know I hold you dear,
And be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift, from my heavenly home above,
I send you each a memory of my undying love.
Remember love’s a special gift, more precious than pure gold,
It was always more important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
For I can’t count the blessings or the love He has for you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear,
Remember I’m spending Christmas with Jesus this year.

Ian, Mommy and Daddy love you and miss you very much. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas with Jesus.

Merry Christmas to all of you and may God grant you peace and happiness in the New Year.
