Mom,

Wanted you to know that im setting up my tree this weekend. A bit late I know. But, I will adorn it with all the special space ornaments you got me that you were so proud of. Rugby will continue to destroy the tree skirt as usual, but its tradition at this point. Ill send you a picture of it once its done.

Its hard to believe that not even a year ago, you were here. And I had given you your Jesus Calling book. Even harder to understand that you didnt finish it. Thinking a lot about you lately. Love you.
