2015 thinking of you - letter from Susie

Hi Mom
I think dad could use the support of your wings. He is in the hospital with stomach troubles. He is not really eating and he seems to be in pain. I don't think he is quite ready to come see you, but he needs to find some comfort. Please shine down on him.
It is now 2015, we have been missing you for 12 years. Life continues on in your absence but it would be so much better to have your cheerful smile and friendly face here with us. We are not getting much of that from dad these days. Haha.
One fond memory I have been reflecting on this year was your ability to make yourself happy. Whether it was going out on Tues. nights with your friends or playing music for the senior home or getting out for a night to play euchre. You made sure to have an activity to do that was for you and made you happy, even though it was not always effortless. Often it takes energy and time arrange these activities, but you recognized the importance of friendship and laughter. Speaking of laughter, I watched an episode or two of I Love Lucy with Allison and Shane the other day.  We were all giggling at her silliness.

Love and miss you,

Susie
