Last night here - long day of fun and family -
I walked around taking in the lights strung around the bannister - down to the lake to see the house lit up for one last moment -
mom and i cut off everything and watched the tree - taking it all in - then cut it off together

It was a Merry Christmas.

Just as I love so much away from here - it is the same -

this whole week -
though miles away
I looked over at you so many times and smiled
at you smiling back
