A lasting memory of Christmas

This Christmas I have so much to be grateful for because I'm here. I'm missing my loved ones who have gone home to glory, but I know they are not suffering or sad. As I think about my grandmother and grandfather, I think about the best Christmas they ever gave me when I was six years old. I remember getting my first Baby Alive doll, and she was my best friend. I remember that Christmas because my grandfather died shortly after in January. I'm not sad, though. I'm smiling as I remember him saying, "I wanted you to have everything your heart desired!" And today, I'm smiling again because God has given me the desires of my heart!
