Christmas 2005 was the first year without my wife Barbara, who passed away on January 5, 2005. It was a long-time practice for us to host a family party on Christmas Eve. After giving it some thought, I decided to go ahead and have the gathering this year - with a little help from the children and their spouses.
As it turned out, I'm glad we went through with it; the turnout was great - about 40 people including many neighbors showed up. During the evening I brought out some family photos that Barbara maintained through the years. They turned out to be a great hit. January 6, 2006
