It's Christmas Eve. I'm trying not to be kind of down, but this is the time of year that I miss my mom the most. Dad gets pretty quiet during the holidays too. We try and act like everything is normal, go out and chop down a tree, decorate with the ornaments Mom always used, and Dad makes Mom's special holiday punch because none of us liked the taste of Egg Nog.
We're going to stop by the Inn tonight to drop off a bottle of wine to Mr. Douglass since he was such a great host when we were staying at the Inn. I picked up a gift card for JT and I already gave Sera a gift for Hannukah. It was a silver braclete that reminded me of her.
Yesterday we were at Captain Morgann's new house for a painting party. He and his wife, Kim, are expecting a baby soon and they wanted to move in on New Year's so Dad helped Captain Morgann organize some of the soldiers from the base to lend a hand with the painting. I volunteered to help out and it was pretty cool. Captain Morgann's grandfather, Mr. Morgann, told a lot of really cool stories while we were working on the house.
One of the things I hate about moving around so much is that I can't visit the cemetary where Mom is. Dad always says that I can talk to her anytime. Just look out at the stars, Mom loved to look at the stars, and know that she can hear me. Maybe that's true. I hope she knows I still miss her and I wish she was still with us. It never gets easier, you know? I don't think I'm ever going to not miss having Mom around.
