*Vincent Christmas Party*

This is our Christmas party on my moms side, we get together every year at a pavillion just on 700 east and about 10600 south. It is some what crazy because all the cousins are not very close at all infact its weird to talk to some of them because we are all so different. They all do there own thing and go there own ways. But the most important part is that Santa comes every year and we have had the same Santa since all of the kids have been born, for about 12 years! I have to say thank you to my mom for what she has to do or help with for my Grandparents to get there because it would not be the same without them! My Grandma has alztimers so it is hard for my mom to watch the confusion it puts on my Grandma, but my Grandma is a sport and loves to come. We all love to see her and I am glad to say that she still remembers my name and knows me probably because I have always cared to visit more than any of the other grand kids and help out with some stuff. I love my Grandma more than anything she reminds me a lot of my mother always caring about how you are and how she is treating you and always welcomed you in her home no matter what you felt comfortable and welcomed there. My Grandpa has the worst balance anymore and they are trying very hard to stay together in there little home, still caring for each other, mostly my Grandpa taking care of Grandma but bless his heart he does an awesome job, now that's real love.. I hope we all remember why we get together around the Holidays and always remember the memories we have no matter small or large. My mom takes care of her basically all by herself everyday"even though she does have four brothers and there wives that just sit around and watch or not even bother to show up anymore." she goes and showers her, gets her pills ready, dresses her, gets her ready for the day and cleans there house and much much more, that if I was to put it all on here it would be so long that I would never finish.. Mom you are amazing, I hope that I will be able to always follow in your footsteps and examples because they are the BEST STEPS to follow. I love you and want you to know how much it means to me to watch you take all your time 'that you have left anyways" and be there for your Mom and Dad no matter what time it is or where you are your always there to help them.. Grandpa falls and calls Mom on the phone to help him and she leaves everything to go over there to help him get up and bandage his wounds, changes the bandage everyday, and that's just the beginning guys I put this on here because I want you to know how amazing my mother is to me and the HERO she is to her parents I know they don't say much but I know how much it means to them!! YOUR AMAZING MOM I LOVE YOU TONS!!!

She says I have to smile again, geez.
