Remembering a sweet thing today...we were in New Braunfels for Christmas and we saw some mistletoe in a tree. We really wanted it, but it was too high up. You took out your gun and shot it out of the tree. All three of your daughters were very impressed. Love and miss you. Struggling with losing you this week. Life is supposed to get back to normal but it just isn't.
