Merry Christmas From Heaven

I still hear the songs, I still see the lights
I still feel your love on cold wintry nights

I still share your hopes and all of your cares
I'll even remind you to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you, you still make me proud
You stand head and shoulders above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment, to stay in His grace
I came here before you to help set your place

You don't have to be perfect all of the time
He forgives you the slip, if you continue the climb

To my family and friends, please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you, in a new special way

I love you all dearly, now don't shed a tear
Cause I'm spending my Christmas with Jesus this year

Play hard and have fun in heaven, Aidan Wayne

Snow!

This past week's snowfall reminds me of a conversation I had with Aidan last year while driving past a field covered with fresh new snow...
Me: Aidan, look at how much snow has fallen.
Aidan: Snow (nodding).
Me: Yes, snow. It's very pretty.
Aidan: It's a mess.
Me: Sometimes snow can be a mess.
Aidan: Momma will clean up.
I remember looking in the rearview mirror seeing his big smile...only 2 1/2 and he had it all figured out.
