Christmas Eve marked the two year anniversary of my Daddy’s passing. Two years seems like a long time, but reliving the minutes and hours of that day still haunt me. Thinking about all that I haven’t been able to share with him sometimes still brings me to big ugly-cry tears. Christmas Eve is filled with...
