Nine Christmases have been the hardest thing to celebrate without you here digging presents out from under the tree every year. But even though you aren't here with us, you still are in the little mini-me you blessed us with. And tomorrow I pray you get to peek in on him and see his reaction at how much Santa dropped off tonight. I hope you and all our family are gathered around the biggest most beautiful Christmas tree on your back forty and that Santa delivers in heaven. Merry Christmas Bubba ❤️ I love you always and miss you more. I'll be seeing you.
Love, Mom
