How to make me cry on Christmas Day!




 
When I was opening up my gifts and cards on Christmas Day, there was this card which happened to be the first one I opened. I read the first 2 lines and started to cry. I couldn't read it! I looked at Kim and he was crying. I handed the card to Matt and he started crying. So there we sat all crying. He handed the card back to me and I read it, crying the whole time. I cried many times since then just thinking about this beautiful card. This was our first Christmas in 16 years without Jessi and she is still very much missed. I know she's looking down from "Rainbow Bridge" and wishing she was still with us. We love you and miss you so much baby girl!

Kim did this all on his own. After 30 years and never really seeing a sensitive side to him, I think there's one there. He's always been so hard, non emotional and tough that I could hardly believe it when I read this card. He desperately misses his little girl.

I have to say that of all the beautiful gifts that I received which included a beautiful diamond necklace from Matt, this one truly touched my heart.
