I wrote this a few minutes ago because today we are having our Hackett family Christmas...

I think of you, your quiet smile A lap that held my little child Holidays were important You made up to 16 pies Baked in pairs of two Now it

My Mom passed on Valentine's Day and that day now has a different 'tone' to it for me. The first Christmas [though I am not a Christmas celebrater]Season was different. I know my Mom is with me, I reach out my hand and call her name and feel her touch. I wish the same for you. :)
