The Holiday's

Today as I sat waiting for a pick-up order at Cracker Barrel for our 4th Annual Christmas breakfast for work...I calculated this Christmas as the 10th we have had missing a very special person in our family. I talked with Jolie while we were there and she assured me that "Uncle Bubba is watching us from Heaven"...it made me smile...we miss you Bubba...not a day goes by that I don't cherish the memories we made and find peace knowing that you are smiling upon us with Papaw, Justin, Jasmin, and Gerty...and many many more great souls that are not with us anymore here on earth.

I wanted to share 2 pictures of me with my nieces...the two sweetest girls I know. (Thanks Aunt Kay for grabbing the "All I Want for Christmas is My Auntie" shirts. They were a hit!

Someone in Canada Sporting JE Gear...

That's right...we have gone international!

Above on the right is Eva...sporting our 2007 Great Strides shirt, with Bubba's Rules of Life on the back. She has become an inpiration to me, and her journey is a miracle. She is the REAL DEAL, and just like Bubba did, rolls with every single punch, not taking a day for granted. This is what I adore of you Eva, and why I follow your blog daily. I wish you and my brother had the opportunity to meet, I know you would have been great friends. I feel honored to be able to read your story daily and know that you are smiling in Canada, despite your pitfalls, you are a FIGHTER!
