We miss Heather so much, and with the holidays just around the corner it gets harder everyday. She loved Christmas time so much. She always loved buying gifts for everyone, it never mattered to her if she received a gift in return, she just loved to shop, and shop, and shop!!! The girl loved the malls, she could never get enough of it..*smile* So Christmas was a favorite time because it meant she could shop some more!!!

Each year since we moved up North (when Heather was just 7 years old) we would go to the tree farm every year and cut down a tree and drag it out of the woods. Usually Heather being the youngest would be the one to pick out the tree. She always picked a tall one because that meant she would be lifted to the top to place the angel on the tree.

I see the 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 Christ 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, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear.
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a special gift,
from my heavenly home above.
I sent you each a memory
of my undying love.

After all, love is a gift more precious
than pure gold.
It was always most important
in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other,
as my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessing or love
he has for each of you.

So have a Merry Christmas and
wipe away that tear.
Remember, I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.
