Responding to your question, "What moment from this year's holiday gatherings do you treasure?"
My husband's sister passed away this past July after a long battle with cancer. We drove 17 hours to be with her husband and 3 boys for Christmas. The moment I treasure was when we all sat around the Christmas dinner table, my husband's parents included, and we expressed our appreciation for who Lynette was in our lives, how much we miss her and how thankful we are for her that she spent Jesus' birthday with Jesus Himself.
