...Thanks, Emily. That is so sweet and thoughtful. <br /><br />Aww, thanks, Sherri! Happy 2014 to you, too!<br /><br />Fran, you are so kind. Thanks for sharing about your grandparents - it is bittersweet, isn't it? Happy 2014 - so glad we get to see you soon!<br /><br />Mark, thank you for always encouraging us to do the memorial.

I love it. <br /><br />It's hard (for me) to make a birthday all about someone--so I admire that you do that for Max and all your family. It reminds me to put more into what/who is most important to me. <br /><br />I like(?)

It's a nice way to acknowledge your father and also prepare to ring in a new year. Such a wonderful person.

My grandmother passed on the 15th and grandfather the 20th. On the up side I have 3 wonderful sons and and daughter in laws. Seven beautiful grandchildren and truly blessed with friends.

I can't believe it's been six years.<br /><br />I am loving this week too, though I finally broke down today and threw out all the wrapping paper and boxes that have been piled in the corner since Christmas Day.
