December Daily – Day 11

I have three pages for today again. I love this pajama page so I didn’t alter it much. Just added the word-stickers.

On the back, I put the photo of me with my three boys and added the title Gilroy Gardens on top of the photo and a few more word stickers.

Second page starts with this photo of David I love.

Journaling Reads:
David, it’s likely you won’t remember tonight in a few months. But thanks to you, I will remember tonight forever. The way you screamed “awesome, awesome, awesome!!” as the train drove through tunnels tonight will remain etched in my heart for the rest of your life.

I must admit that we do a lot of these holiday events because I love them. I’ve learned a while ago that it’s best to do them for myself and if you guys like it, too, all the better. This is the only way I am always happy we went. But those times when you enjoy it just as much as I do, if not more, are the times I cherish more than anything else.

And when I look back on these days, I will not remember how tired I was or how many times you asked “how many more minutes till we’re home.” I will remember the joyful way you shouted awesome and the excitement that overcame you as you ran from one ride to another, trying to decide which one to go on first. Thank you, my son, for being my best present.

The back of that page is a photo of Nathaniel.
