It's that time of year again. Happy birthday to my sweet girl. December 28th would have been Marah's third birthday. I can't help but wonder.. What would Santa have brought her?-What would her Christmas jammies would look like? How early would she have climbed into our bed on Christmas morning?
The first Christmas after Marah died, I could barely crawl out of bed...it was difficult to put one foot in front of the other. A few years have passed and time has softened the pain. I have no trouble putting one foot in front of the other; now it is just trying to put one thought in front of the other as her special "heaven day" approaches. Somehow, I thought that after 3 years have passed, this birthdate would settle in a little easier. We are awaiting the year's first snowfall and we'll make our traditional snow baby on Marah's grave. Just maybe it will be on her birthday this year. ;)
