Dad's Thoughts on this First Christmas without Vivian

Dear Sarah, Aaralyn, and Joshua, and Charles, Josiah, Heather, Noah, and Sam:

We need to view this first Christmas without Vivian as very special and very precious, and as the first Christmas Vivian is spending in heaven with our Savior, and it will be the very best Christmas for her ever. Her joy is in its fullness, and she knows how much we are loved and cared for in a way we do not, and cannot begin to comprehend. Yes, we should dedicate this Christmas to her, and celebrate it in joy. Time does not matter in heaven, so she knows that we will be joining her in a few minutes, although it will seem like years to us.........

Love,

Dad
