I am writing this to not only Debra, but to everyone and mostly to myself because I have to tell myself this over and over.
First of all, the last time I saw my Bobby alive was on Christmas Day, so you all can imagine how difficult Christmas is for me. I certainly don't feel like putting up decorations or going shopping. The last days I spent with Bobby were at the mall shopping with him for Christmas 2005, and going back to the mall, especially at Christmas, breaks my heart everytime I go into a store that we went into together, Kirklands, Bombay, the Sports Store, Macy's, Dillards, all of them break my heart over and over. So, I am not going. I'll shop online and stay away from those places.
With all that said, God gave us his Son on Christmas, and then His son died so that we could live and spend eternity with our families. I used to imagine Mary's pain, but now I know her pain. And God's Son, who was perfect and never sinned, took all of our sins. He took my son's sins, and he took Dane's sins too. He paid the price and bought all of us a place in heaven.
So you see Debra, without Christmas, you would not have the promise of ever seeing Dane again. So we all must celebrate the birth of our Lord. No matter how sad an occasion it is for us, we have to celebrate and give thanks to God that because His son was born, we can spend eternity with our children. I will see Bobby again and I will spent another Christmas with him! Let's all of us celebrate Christmas and make it a wonderful occassion, knowing that because of Christmas we all will live an eternity with our children.
Decorate with so many lights that all our children can see them all the way from heaven!
Merry Christmas Everyone,
Patti
