the night before we left Salt Lake we decided to all get together and go bowling. Afterwards we went back to Grandma's house and ate and talked a little more. Before everyone left I gave each of the kids a big hug and told them how much I loved them. As they lined up by the door to leave I felt like something was missing. Someone forgot to give me a hug. I panned the room and counted each of the kids. They all gave me hugs, but I was sure that I was missing a hug from someone. I scanned the room again and counted...
Misi,
Constance,
Vince...
...it was you Rennie. You were the missing hug. As soon as I realized that I wasn't going to be getting that 4th hug I stopped my search, waved at your family as they left Grandmas house, and sat quietly at the table. I played back a couple memories of your smiling face and your special hugs. Oh how I miss you.

One of the first things I saw when I went to Grandma's house for Christmas. Brought a smile to my face. |
