Timothy - 110. Chapter 110
Gramps had his annual Christmas party the last workday before Christmas. He had it catered to give the cafeteria crew a chance to join the party. Towards the end, he handed everyone their Christmas gift, a box of candy and cookies with a card that included a Christmas bonus. I gave the gift cards to the people who worked in my department. Gramps walked home with us.
I always felt that Gramps would have probably liked to have had more children. This feeling was confirmed when he was with our children, and I knew that he would be putty in their hands when our children were older. I told Stephen this, he laughed.
Christmas morning was something else. Mom and Dad arrived very early with Alex and Ann Marie. Stephen’s folks arrived within minutes of Mom and Dad. Gramps came the night before and stayed with us. Everyone was sitting in the basement, and mom, Ann Marie, and Stephen’s mom had made coffee and a tray of egg and cheese sandwiches. We were sitting around with tree lights on when Randy brought the children down. They were still sleepy, and the grandmothers took over.
I enjoyed this Christmas, family all around us, but we did miss John, Eva, and Eva Marie. “Do you think John and Eva are awake?”
“Call and find out.”
Stephen called and asked to speak to a young lady named Eva Marie. He said he was Santa Claus and missed her house last night.” Then he started to laugh. John and Eva said Merry Christmas, and they will be up in a couple of days.
That evening Donnie and the children’s mother appeared to me, and for the first time, Stephen also experienced this heavenly apparition. Donnie had whispered in his ear before, but this time he was able to see him and the children’s mother. I sensed this would be the last time I would see Donnie. I’ll always know he is around, I have a clone of him.
