My First Christmas in Heaven

When others saw it at work, I ended up printing out about a dozen that year. I laminated a copy and gave to my Mom. I put another one in a frame and laid it on Dad's stone. (Someone stole it. Yes, Virginia, grinches visit cemeteries too.) Shirley...See More- 7 years ago
