Default My Christmas Story

We were at the dog park this morning.. talking with Holly... i don't know her very well.. asked her where she is from.. said she used to live in Mentor , Ohio.. long story short.. she knew my brother Joe, who passed away Sept 2011..she used to go scuba diving with him , etc . It was almost too cool to talk with her about my brother on Christmas Eve of all days. .. ( I took it as a sign that he was there with us).. .I miss him everyday-I got warm fuzzies and wanted to share with ya'll..
By the Way.. her name really is Holly = Christmas.. chills..

Wonderful story. When working for UPS I supervised the drivers who delivered in Mentor. Nice community and loved the Great Lakes Mall.

What a nice story. Your brother is surely watching over you this evening and most likely throughout the year. My heart is filled with joy as well, as my little 15 month old grand daughter is here with us. I am growing so attached to her over this Christmas holiday. It's just not the same seeing them on the computer as it is putting your arms around them. We are building so many memories that I will cherish forever. Merry Christmas!

Jaggy, that is the best Christmas story of the day. I agree that Joe must be...around. Which makes me think of my mother, so maybe she is around too. Merry Christmas to one and all!

Jaggy,,, You don't think meeting Holly was a coincidence?
Joe planned it all. It was his Christmas message to you! I love this story. Merry Christmas!!!
