Billy stopped by on Christmas Eve day to say hello. He brought a lovely box of Godiva chocolates and simply wanted to connect and check in. Our love for Sharon was apparent but we talked about all kinds of things 'routine'.  I was so glad to catch up on what his life is like these days but it was obvious that the absence of Sharon was looming over us. You have no idea how much these visits and remembrances mean to me. Friends and family who keep her in their hearts help keep me going. Thank you Billy.. And so I texted him to say thanks the next day and he responded with: "You're welcome.. It was good to see you and catch up. It's amazing how much I see her in you.. it's awesome :).. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year."

What a beautiful Christmas gift ...
