Have a happy holiday... May the star atop your Christmas tree shine throughout your Christmas Day.
Dearest Sisters, Brother, nieces and nephews and friends,
I do wish that I could be home for Christmas and this is the 3rd year that I will not be with you to hug and hear the voices and lovetalk of Christmas and the huge party we celebrate at Ju's house. "This is How WE do it!" We celebrate the life and the love that God has given us and I do thank Him for that.
I wish that this year you or someone would tape every remembrance word that Ms Nettie has of her trip to Spain. She is the special guest star this year. She has lots to share and lots of lessons for us all. I wish you would give her a hearing alone to share her remembrances with everybody. What a growth journey she has been on. We all remember journeys that we have taken and the fact that no one was there to listen to the lessons that we learned. We had to keep those things to ourselves, because the dynamic of our family was not yet conducive to hearing everyone's life lessons. Let's not let that happen with Ms. Nettie on this trip. Let's catch every glow in her eyes and every joy of her lessons. Let's catch every tear of her broken heart to have left part of her heart in Spain and have to go back to the part of her heart that was here in Los Estados Unidos. She is a woman and we would be wise to listen to the stories. Tape them for me if you can, please.
Our family is enjoying a season of refreshing and love with one another. Still basking in the unity that God has allowed us to enjoy. We miss you all and wish that we could take that long car trip to see you. But for this year that is impossible. All of our love is sent to you and to the children and grandchildren. I cannot believe that everyone is getting so big. I saw Muffy as a mommy on the facebook and her daughters are adorable. Her presence in the family is breathtaking. Papa would be proud that his girls and boys are being responsible adults and living up to the joy of parenting.
I love you and again wish you a very Merry Christmas!
Love, Jayne
