Just when you think you have the holidays all planned out... when you anticipate time at home, with family, doing all the traditional things you do each year....

I actually can imagine the heartache they are feeling and will experience at Christmas, since 16 years ago on Dec. 26, my stepson was tragically killed in a car accident.
