We took down the Wreath today

Today was a milestone for the Ellis family. We were able to finish moving Mom out of her house. We still have alot of stuff to go through, but decided to wait until around Christmas time to finish going through it. You ought to see my our houses. I can't fit anything else. I have Dad's tools in my kitchen and Kristin couldn't be happier !!!! This starts a new chapter in all of our lives. Not just family but friends as well. Mom and Dad touched alot of people. Those people, us included, will miss them dearly. I realize that my kids look at Kristin and I the same way that we looked at Mom and Dad. I can only hope that I am able to fill the shoes that have gone before me. I hope that I can give to my kids what Mom and Dad were able to give to me. Most of all I hope that our family can keep in touch and carry on what Mom worked so hard to do. She made sure that all of the Ellis' and all of the Smith's were a part of our lives and that we a part of theirs. I know that in the end we will all look back and be proud of the legacy that my Mom and Dad left behind.
