Dear Tony,
It's been almost three years since you passed away. I think about you when people speak of you and when little things happen that remind me of you. I especially think of your mom at Christmas time. I hope that she's doing alright and that you are watching over her because I'm sure she misses you a lot.
This week, I cleaned the house and unpacked my Christmas decorations and came across your old friend, the penguin, who used to adorn your IV pole, which looked more like a Christmas tree this time of year. Just so you know, he is doing fine and we are happy to have him around. I wanted to share some photos and let you know what he's been up to.
It's Nice to See YouIt was a little challenging when Dookie came to stay because, well, the destruction of animals filled with stuffing is her favorite past time. Needless to say, your penguin was a bit hesitant to meet her.
Where is that dog?
Which way did she go?
In the end, it all turned out ok.
Meeting DookieHe does all sorts of things to keep busy and stay out of trouble during the holidays. Occasionally though, he gets a wild feather up his tail and I need to intervene.
Cutting LooseMost of the time, he's on his best behavior. You would be so proud.
Watching good quality, family programming.
Reading "Santa Claus: The World's Number One Toy Expert" by Marla FrazeeWhen he's good, he gets rewarded with his favorite holiday beverage.
Everybody loves a cup of hot coco.He loves to help me write my posts for Holidailies and read my favorite blogs.
Writing this post.
I have just tucked him into bed for the night. He says for me to tell you that he misses you and he hopes you have a Merry Christmas.
Nighty Night.Thank you for entrusting him to me. He has become an integral part of the holidays.
Merry Christmas, Tony.
With Love,
Kathy
