Coley Elf

Uploaded: December 13, 2007

Description


Cole loved to wear all kinds of silly hats. While christmas shopping a couple years ago, he picked out this Elf hat and wore it constantly throughout the holiday season. I called him my Coley Elf. This christmas will be a little quieter this year but he will be with us in spirit and we will celebrate in his honor.

!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS COLEY ELF !!!!!

Thank you so very much Steve...I am so sorry to have been absent from the club the past few months. My computers are both down now and I've been working non stop. I hope that will change soon and I promise I will be back in force with something witty to say in the future. Until then, suffice it to say that the SSS club is still in my thoughts and in my heart and I miss you all very much. Until next year...Marta

Thank you very much Nadine for all the wonderful support you have given me this year. You are a special person and I hope you have a great new year! #5274398

Marta,
I haven't been online much myself and just now popped into your gallery and there was Cole on a perfect Christmas card! I wish you could have had 100 Christmases with him but I think you all made each one you did have a very special one. Now Cole is that spirit that shows through in your photography. I think he sits there on your shoulder and says,"Mom, there's a great shot!" !
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. Sorry your computers have beendown. Mine too is about to go so I be taking it to my computer guru to get it fixed!
Best to you in the New Year!

Thank you so very much Vicki. You have such a wonderful way with words and I really appreciate all of your comments. We have had many awesome Christmas mornings together and, although I will admit that this one was very hard for me, we plan on having many more. Coley's stocking will always have it's place on the mantle and his spirit will be in our hearts forever. #5301551
