My mom kept crying because my dad's cancer was continuing to progress and we all knew this would probably be the last time we'd all be together.

Mom couldn't stop crying because she kept thinking about how it was probably dad's last Christmas (it was).

...my dad's best friend Roger and his wife Bonnie for dinner. Roger is British and my dad's version of Grant. It was really sweet to watch them hang out and interact. (Sadly, Roger passed away just a few months after my dad in late 2018.)

This ornament is really cute. Love looking back at old photos. (Who would've guessed that about me, right?)

Christmas 1987 - my brother and I freaking out about getting the long-awaited PHANTASY STAR for the Sega Master System. This was the first RPG I ever got into and it exploded both of our brains!

Also found a bunch of fantastic old photo albums. I snapped a couple of pics of my favorite pics. Here me with my parents and brother. I think this was from my 5th birthday - which would make it August 1981.

After the ties were fixed, it was time for family photos out on the back deck. Here's Brett, Pappi, mom and me.

For Christmas day, my grandparents and one of my mom's sister's family (The Carricks) came to our house. Christmas dinner in the house y'all. When I say "Hey," you say "Ho!" Now when I say "Je" you say "sus!"
