What a beautiful Poem. Thank you. Do you know who wrote that?

My First Christmas in Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, With tiny lights like Heaven's stars reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular please wipe away the tear, For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, But the sound of music cannot compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring, For it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me I see the pain inside your heart, But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart. So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear, And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above, I send you each a memory of my undying love. After all, love is a gift more precious than gold, It was always most important in the stories Jesus told. Please love each other as the Father said to do, For I cannot count the blessings or love He has for you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away the tear, Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. With Love, From those who have gone on before. Olene

TImmy...That last pic made me laugh!! thanks so much for sharing !! Teri

These are the last pictures that I had taken.....or had been taken with my Dad. I had called him later in the evening(late August - early September) & told him that a few friends were drinkin' at our house in Frisco........'Bring a bottle of wine' I said. He said ' I'm on my way'.....Now he'd already started feelin' bad. He never passed up an opportunity to have some fun but more important he never passed up an opportunity to share time with the people he loved....... This first pic was taken by my friend Chris while we were listenin' to some songs that were special to my Mom. I remember lookin' at my Dad & sayin' 'We've had a good run'.......He looked at me & said ' I hope there's more to come' . In the pic you can see the concern. For himself or for me......it's there.......Yes, I'm cryin in the pic.... http://www.lilypix.com/photos/data/02e74f10e0327ad868d138f2b4fdd6f0/349_p51916.jpeg Now this was THE last pic I took of my Father(same night). It says everything anyone would ever need to know about my Dad....My best friend..... http://www.lilypix.com/photos/data/02e74f10e0327ad868d138f2b4fdd6f0/349_p51917.jpeg Thanks for listenin' all!!! timmy

happy trails my friend til we meet again cowboy,love you timmy and kristen love cheryl 53

Tim - my brother- you my friend- will always hold that spot in my heart and mind. We had but a short few years together, but they will always be the years thatI will remember with a smile. We didn't go sky diving- but we went on several great trail rides- we didn't ride a bull - but we were together at several of your fantastic parties. The host that put all others to shame!It would take several pages to say all the things and places that we went and did- they will all always be the special times that we spent. I look forward to the next time we saddle up and ride together. Your friend and brother always!!! Tom
