It has been
498 days 2 hours and 18 minutes since Calypso left us.

That seems like such a long time. But in Reality it isn't.

We're getting ready for Christmas time again. Our 2nd Christmas without Calypso. We're getting ready to decorate her gravesite though. She's got her own tree, plastic candy canes, tree topper, ornaments, and garland to go around the shepherds hooks. I also have a little stocking we bought her last year from the $ store that will go out there. She'll probably get a few gifts too on Christmas Day since Freja has made out a list especially for Calypso.

I can't get over the 498. That seems like soooo many. 498 days of tears and mourning.

We miss you Calypso. Be with us in Spirit as we include you in our Christmas Celebrations. It helps us to remember you and it makes us feel like you are here with us.
