Merry Christmas, Mom - Part X

DEDICATED TO AGNES JOHNSON (1948-2013) WHO PASSED AWAY ON MARCH 6, 2013.

It has been an entire decade since we last spent Christmas together. 

Less than three months later, you died and you were gone forever. 

The last Christmas that we spent together is something I hold dear. 

Time certainly does fly, it does not seem like it has been ten years. 

After spending many Christmases together, your life came to an end. 

After you died, it took nearly two years for my broken heart to mend. 

You once cooked Christmas dinners and we opened gifts that were under the trees. 

The memories of the years that we spent together are very important to me. 

When you were only 64, you had an abdominal aneurysm and I lost my best friend. 

Merry Christmas, Mom, it's sad that we can never spend Christmas together again.
