Merry Christmas, Ant Sue!

There is an interesting story behind this photo.  The first Christmas without our Jim I was sitting in my living room debating if I had the will to put up a tree.  I just didn't think I had it in me to pull myself up out of my misery and "decorate" but in the back of my mind I could hear a little voice saying "Come on, Ant Sue, it's Christmas!" so I pulled out the boxes & put up my little Charlie Brown special sniffing & crying the entire time.  I accomplished that much and  thought that since I survived thus far I might as well put out my silver charger & candles, too. I need to explain that when I put these away the previous Christmas I had the candles in a box and the silver tray cleaned & in a plastic sleeve separate from everything else.   When I pulled the tray out there was a perfect "J" on it!!!  I grabbed my cellphone and snapped this picture... This was my confirmation that the little voice I heard was Jimmy and he wanted me to know that he'd be home for Christmas one way or another!!    Loved you little...loved you big and will love you ALWAYS!!!
