Something Round

.
.
Last Christmas I had the bright idea for Joe and I to have a theme for our gifts. The truth is that we bought stuff for each other all year, so Christmas felt kind of....silly when it came to what to give each other. I am sure many of you can relate. The purpose of the theme was to make our own personal gift giving a little more fun.

So Joe and I each thought up 5 themes and wrote them down and put them in Joe's hat. Luke picked out our first theme....which was "something round". Among other things, I gave Joe a round gauge for his motorcycle, and he gave me a beautiful round charm with a picture of Luke and Alyssa on it.

When I was unpacking the Christmas boxes today I came across the little papers we wrote the themes on last year. I had packed them away so we could use them this year.

This is so insanely crazy.

Oh Rob, I can't even tell you how many times every day I am thinking of you during this season. I know it is impossibly hard for you each and every day-- but this time of year... well, it is just intense and emotional and it adds even another raw layer of pain over everything (just when it seems that the layers of pain can't possibly get any thicker). I am thinking of you so many times each day. I am so glad that you gave Joe the round gauge for his motorcycle last year; and I'm so glad that he gave you the beautiful round charm.
All my love,
Heather
