Merry Christmas! We are counting our blessings.

The morning began sadly, with the loss of a dear friend's mom. Please remember Letty in your prayers. Such an incredible loss ... our hearts are broken for Letty and her family.

While this is a day of great celebration ... the day our savior was born ... we are feeling the sadness of loss. The loss of a life always brings reminders of the gifts of life ... family, friends, love. Chuck and I are so grateful for the love that has been showered on us. We are thankful that we have each other ... and family and friends who surround us with support and love.

God bless you this Christmas. Hug and kiss on those you adore ... they are gifts from God.
