Christmas Day ~ December 25th

Gifts of time and love are surely the
basic ingredients of a truly merry Christmas...

Today it my mom's birthday. Wish we were there with

them right now, but can't be. At least no this year. Hopefully

next year we can spend it with them. Time is going by

fast and what tomorrow holds is never a sure thing.

Christmas Day, not exactly Arvid's favorite day/time of the

year, but I love Christmas. It is a reflection of the wonderful times

we had growing up in Puerto Rico. My mom and dad always made

it the perfect time. We didn't have much, but that didn't matter.

We had the best, best time of our lives. We went caroling,

we went seeing the different Christmas places and we always

ended up in Old San Juan where there was a beautiful

display of lights and happy people everywhere.

I was able to experience that feeling once again with Arvid

and Sniff when we lived in Puerto Rico. From our balcony we saw

the festivities and celebrations. It was during the pandemic, but still

a beautiful time. The best part was that we spent it with my sister,

J and Kimsy. Even Arvid was helping with the Christmas

decorations. He was into the Christmas spirit.

This year we will be spending our first Christmas in Fort Myers.

Last year it was Branson. Boy even I can't keep track of where we are.

I wonder what our families would say if we were to move again.

I'm always waiting for either Arvid or myself saying that

we're ready to move back to Fort Lauderdale.

From our family to yours, we wish you a Merry Christmas. Let us

remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart. For our Brutus

and all my loved ones in heaven; tonight more than ever I will search

for you among the stars that shine so bright on Christmas night.

Let us keep Christmas beautiful without a thought of greed,

that it might live forevermore to fill our every need, that it

shall not be just a day, but last a lifetime through.

A big happy birthday to my mom. I love her more than she knows.

Christmas, it is the tenderness of the past,

courage for the present, and hope for the future..

Wednesday July 5th ~There Is A Sadness In My 🖤

The song is ended,😢 but the melody lingers on...

Tragedy strikes yet again to little Michelle. Arvid's
youngest daughter does not seem to be catching a break.

November 2018 her mom died. UNFAIR!! that's
what life is. UNFAIR and there is NOTHING

one can do, but sit and watch it happen 😢😢

Michelle is only 27. Just a couple of days ago,
the man who was like her second dad if not at times
her primary dad died. And I ask is this fair?

At Michelle's wedding her two dad's walked her down
the aisle. Memories that will forever live in her heart.

Michelle. We love you. We have you, Emil and the
girls in our thoughts. I can't stop thinking about you. My
parents and my entire family is devastated for you. Again.
Please find peace in knowing he no longer is in pain.💔

He may not have been your dad by birth, but he
loved you as if you were his very own. Never 🖤💙
forget that. You are loved by so many Michelle.

This is the price you pay for having a great father.
You get the wonder, the joy, the tender moments
– and you get the tears at the end, too...
