The Saddest Christmas...Life Goes On

Oklahoma had a record-breaking snow fall and blizzard in 2009. All of us in Oklahoma lovingly joked about how Dad would have called everyone he knew to announce the numbers and proclaim that he had never, in his entire life, seen anything like it, and neither had you: 14 feet in 24 hours! Skyscrapers buried in snow drifts! Families living in snow holes!

We were of course still in shock that Dad was not with us to enjoy the snow, the cabin-fever, the warmth of the fire, and the love of Christmas. We celebrated anyway...snowed in Bren, Mike, Kiki and I spent Christmas with Gracie. We missed Brian, Amy and Gav who were in Peoria, and who, like us, were missing Dad. Here are Bren and Gracie experiencing snow...Gracie's first and Bren's first to remember.
