Merry Christmas Babies!

Merry Christmas Taylor and Emmerson! Taylor, you are such a big boy now, and all your front teeth are back in. What a beautiful smile you have.

This is our third Christmas I have not seen you or talked to you and it is an awful feeling.

I hope your Merry Christmas was just wonderful. Grandma had dinner with her friend and his daughters and grandchildren who are about your and Emmerson's age. It wasn't like having you there, so I thought of you a lot. I had a great car and a spaceship I wanted to give you and a princess doll for Emmerson. I hope you got some presents you wanted from Santa Claus.

Miss you my darlings. New Years is just a day or two ago. I hope it is a new beginning and I will see you soon.

Love

Grandma Nici

I have tried to get your address so I can send you some Christmas presents, but no one seems to know what it is. I asked Grandpa Nick and Linda, but haven't had an answer.

Please don't think I don't love you and think of you often, because I do. I think of you almost every single day. I can't begin to describe how much I miss you.

I went to Ireland for Thanksgiving, and realized I was very close, but still so far. How wonderful it would have been if you had been able to come to Dublin and see me.

Another year is almost over. It has been almost three years now. I am so afraid you will not remember me, Taylor. And Emmerson never knew me, so I would be a stranger. Maybe you can try and remember for her and tell her about me.

Merry Christmas my darling children, you are everything in my heart.

Love, Grandma
