Comments on: An Empty Stocking http://knottiesniche.com/2009/12/02/an-empty-stocking/ Ramblings of a Gold Star mom who still loves and supports the troops and their mission. Tue, 17 Jan 2012 03:00:31 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: A Soldier's Mother http://knottiesniche.com/2009/12/02/an-empty-stocking/comment-page-1/#comment-393 A Soldier's Mother Thu, 17 Dec 2009 23:20:31 +0000 http://knottiesniche.com/?p=200#comment-393 Every time I read your blog I think that I'll find something to say...something that can be profound or comforting or something...and each time I'm speechless. I smile (and cry). I love reading about Micheal; I love seeing his smiling faces in the pictures and thinking of him bringing joy to the other soldiers in Iraq. I think of his last smile, even though he was injured and your saying he defeated them - he did! I'm glad you'll bring out the big tree, the ornaments and Micheal's stocking. To do any less...would give them victory and diminish Micheal's smile. You'll have tears...but they won't break you...please, please don't let it break you...or, if it does...tomorrow, put it back together...and damn...how many times do I have to remember NOT to wear mascara when reading your blog! I wish you and your family a very merry Christmas...this year, and every year - in health and happiness and in the joy that Micheal gave you.

I just trust that I know you will do everything in your power to get through this holiday season, and you will make it as good as possible for those around you. I just wish there was something I could do to make it a little better for you, you are an awesome person who cares so deeply for all your children and your cammie kids as well....hope you can feel a little comfort in knowing how many people you make life better for.
