Hannah's Story: December 2011

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

I don't ever want to forget this precious face and how much I miss the beautiful spirit of my girl. This is a photo of her last Christmas. She loved this silly Santa hat and she always had to do that crinkle nose pose when she saw the camera. Not a typical framed photo but it embodies the spirit of our girl so well. I had to have it to display when we decorate for the holidays!

This has been a rough Christmas. It's our second one without her and my heart has been broken constantly. I KNOW the reason for the season and it does help, but it doesn't remove the pain or emptiness that not having her with me brings. I don't write much anymore because I'm in the ugly phase of grief right now. I'm not into sharing ugliness. The world has enough without openly adding mine.

Love to you all and I hope your Christmas was great and your New Year brings all the hope and joy you deserve!
