Well, this could be a sappy one, so if you aren't in a sappy mood, you should probably stop reading NOW! ;)
Anyhoo, there are times like today when I simply build a fire and my heart simply fills with sadness and joy all at the same time...the reason I say this is because not a day goes by that I don't miss my daddy and boy did he love a fire. Sometimes, he would build a fire and really & truely we didn't need one, but you could always find him sitting beside it and he built the best fires and it was because he would always say "you have to jug it just right." This is when my heart fills with joy, because I find myself smiling remembering him saying & demostrating this! Every day is hard loosing a daddy, but it's even harder during the holidays. You think back on all the memories you made and cherish each and every one, because little did I know time would end faster than I ever anticipated. May you cherish memories with your loved ones over the holiday season and may you make new memories that you will cherish for years to come!

I remember how sad he was when he could no longer jug the fire when we got the gas logs.
When it's about your daddy it's not sappy, it's just plain sweet. When I make a fire tonight I'm going to be wondering if I'm "juggin' it just right." :) You're on my mind a lot, especially this time of year. Love you.
There are no words. Just a little tear and smile. Love you!
