Micheal,
My wife made a huge quilt for me for Christmas. It has 72 8"x8" pictures of Kyle on it, from Baby to the end of his life. It means more to me than any of my guns ever will. It was quite an emotional Christmas for all of us. On Kyle's 15th birthday, Dec. 27th, I took his favorite meal out to the cemetary and had lunch with him. A typical kid, he always ordered the same thing. Two double hamburgers,a large box of fries and two cherry pies, of course from McDonalds,where else. I am sure almost all dads feel the same way. You would do anything for your children. We all think that there is no way another parent can love their kids as much as we love our own. I think that's the way it is supposed to be. On new years eve, we always get together with our extended families and go over the last years happenings. All went well until Stacy got out an hour and forty minute video of Kyles life. She set it to music and put together 1260 pictures to chronical Kyles life. It brought back many wonderful memories and showed how full and wonderful his life was. But there wasn't a dry eye in the house for about 30 ninutes. It is absolutley impossible to describe to someone who does't have children, what it is like to be a parent. It is the greastest feeling!!!
