Pappy! what a great story! I am so glad the holiday's are over! When Jacob called a few weeks back he said "you know this is my third Christmas not at home". Man, that hurt. Jacob did not get to call us on Christmas day but he did call the day after. Neither of us mentioned Christmas. It was just easier that way.
