Hello everyone!

This is my first official post on Tweetyswings! I hope you all can follow myself and family on our journey since Tress (Tweety) has left us not so long ago!

Tonight we just went to a memorial service for all the people that have died this past year. It was nice. Especially for Tress’ sister, Twila it hasn’t been easy for her at all this year. Kevin is sadly dating again. He does have a girlfriend. He’s been dating since this summer. Just recently he went out to the cemetery with his new girlfriend. I honestly thought hearing that news was way more upsetting than the service itself!  We knew for awhile he’s been dating but we did not know about the whole cemetery thing, he’s very odd. We haven’t had the chance to empty out Tress’ house yet. It’s killing Twila. (Tress’ sister that was the closest to her) We just want to get all the things and have some closure. But Kevin said not until after the new year…

            Well enough about that! I’ve been very busy with FFA. I’m the President of my FFA Chapter. We just had our big fruit delivery today! It was –20 degrees this morning when we were unloading 15500 lbs of fruit! BRRRR! I am the second top seller of my chapter, just by a few hundred bucks! J

            My birthday is coming up, December 23^rd I turn 17! Tress’ birthday is December 24^th, it will be really hard this year. I’m not looking forward to our Christmas Eve with the family because I know they’re will be PLENTY of tears. (Kevin is not attending, thank gosh!) But, our family will get through it. We’ve been through enough these past few years. Its just the new “normal” that we need to adapt too.

            Oh what else to write about? On the back of our programs from the memorial service they’re was this neat poem.

“I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below. With tiny lights like heaven’s stars reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular please wipe away your tear. For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear But the sounds of the music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here. For I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring. For it’s beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me I see the pain inside your heart, But I am not so far away, we really aren’t apart. So be happy for me, dear ones, you know I hold you dear. And be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I sent you each a gift from my heavenly home above. I sent you each a memory of my undying love. After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do. For I can’t count the blessings or love He has for each of you. So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away your tear remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year…”

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love,

Gabes
