These are pictures of Morgan’s dog, Wylah. I truly believe Wylah still remembers her last night with Morgan. She has nightmares at times, and seems wary of people who look similar to the “suspect.” I know Wylah misses Morgan, and many times I see her staring at something that isn’t there, with a smile on her face, and love in her eyes. If only I knew what she was seeing and thinking…<\/span><\/p>\n

This time of the year is always difficult, but this year is even a little harder than usual. It has been 11 years since we had to face our first Christmas without Morgan, and it has never been the same since. Our family, especially our grandchildren, have kept love alive in our lives. I don’t know what I would have done without them. The pain of missing Morgan is a daily occurrence that will never go away, but we are grateful for the strength our family has given us. <\/span><\/p>\n

For so many families like us, this time of the year is exceptionally challenging. I wish everyone love, peace, and justice going into the New Year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you all for following this blog, and sending so much love and encouragements throughout the years, it means the world to me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
