Merry Christmas Daryn Renee'

Merry Christmas, Daryn!
I have thought about you so much the last few weeks. Caden has been thinking about you too.
He dragged a girl that was at our house over to a picture and pointed to Daryn and said, "that is you...". I was kind of wondering why he was hanging on this girl, then I realized why.
I am happy that Daryn is on Caden's mind and that he is thinking about her! The next day Caden found a Finding Nemo game for Kaila's Leapster, and he was asking where is the Leapster. I didn't have any clue where it was. Then the next day he asked again, I didn't know. Then cleaning out the toy room trying to clear it out I came across the Leapster, Caden was so excited, but the batteries were dead. So we searched and found some, added them to the Leapster, turned it on and "Daryn W" was right there saved in the game. I just looked at her name and felt Peace and Calm. I just feel like these are little signs, like once again, she is somehow saying, "Remember, I am doing Great, and will see you all face to face soon! It is worth the wait, hang in there".

Never forget, Jesus is the Reason for the celebration of this day. I learned when I was young from my dad, you can't write X-mas, because you are taking Christ out of this day. From that day forward I have never written "X-mas" (until this blog, and it feels wrong to even type it). So from this know that your children are listening to you and do learn things from you, and that Christ is the reason for this wonderful holiday. The greatest gift of all, was God's gift of the birth, life and death of his only son Jesus Christ. What an amazing gift, there has never been, nor will there ever be a gift that can measure even close.
Love your Aunt Mindy
