The stockings are hung by the chimney with care!
Well, I finished putting the last of the Christmas decorations up last night. Wrapped the front columns with evergreen garland, draped some along the top of the openings of the porch. Then went back and attached small red bows throughout and two large red bows to the front of each of the pillars. On the inside of the house, I only had our stockings to hang in front of the fireplace. I hadn’t intended to hang Amy’s, but Vinny asked me, ‘Aren’t you going to hang up Mommy’s stocking?’ I just stopped and looked at him and for a split second thought about telling him, ‘No, Vinny…we’re not going to.’ but instead I saw the pleading in his eyes and the unasked question of ‘Why wouldn’t we?’ So, I took a breath and asked him, ‘Would you like me to?’ and he sort of half smiled…a thinning and stretching of the lips really…and rapidly nodding his head, said ‘Yes, Daddy…please?’ And so, Amy’s stocking is hung right along with ours, where it should be.
Oh and by the way…I won the battle with those Candy Cane lights; they are securely fastened and standing the way they should!
Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
For the love of Amy - V

Vince,
I am so happy to see you doing the normal stuff. Our children look to us to see how they should be acting.
On the radio(102.5) last night going home from choir practice was a song " Going HOME For Christmas" I don't know the singer. Anyways I sat there just crying thinking of Amy, you and the kids and those silly candy canes. (they look good by the way)
Father,
Be with our brother Vince as he leads his family through what I am sure will be a very bitter sweet Christmas. They know Amy is safe with You, however they miss her and all love she put into all she did.
Hold him close Father, let him know we love him and his family.
Amen
Teri U
