Happy Birthday Son, We sure do miss you...







Saturday, December 13th. Philip would have turned 24 today. He was a Christmas crazy man. He loved Christmas and everything about it. He would have started decorating in July if anyone would have let him. Now that he is gone, we celebrate his birthday by going to the Christmas tree farm; we pick out cut down a tree, have some hot chocolate, take lots of pix. Malachi and Madison came over Friday to spend the week-end, Matt, Kacey and John-Philip came over on Saturday. We ate some "hot chili" and then were on our way.

It was a little cooler this year so we picked a tree a little faster than usual. We had a great time.
It was John-Philip's first year and that was fun for all of us. It meant so much to me to have Kacey and her family, and the twins. It made the day easier. There were tears, but there was much more laughter and wonderful memories shared and new memories made.

I got home and saw that Daniel, (Philip's best friend) had called. It means a lot to know that other people miss and love him too.

At home we decorated the tree and Malachi and Madison made oatmeal raisin cookies with Poppa. I rolled Madison's hair for the first time with sponge rollers and that was fun. We had a really great day.

I am so thankful to God for my family and the cherished memories of my beloved son Philip I thank God for the 20 years, 11 months and 6 days that I had him to love.
