First Christmas without Abbi

Ursula and I are in puppy love with Daisy, but we really do miss Abbi every day. And with what kind of a noodge Daisy has been, we're thinking that maybe she has been channeling Abbi at times. Her mannerisms and overall attitude scream "I am Abbi."

So I was a little sad around Christmas, and so was Ursula, knowing that Abbi wouldn't be here to eat the wrapping paper on Christmas morning.

But Ursula knew how to make things a little better, add to the closure. She (or Abbi) left a Christmas ornament with the name Abigail on it under our tree, with this note.

The tear-jerker: "I miss you lots, but I am in a much better place. I will always be with you in your hearts."
