Dear Mama,

I found this photograph in the big box of memories you saved for me.  It's our first Christmas together, of course.  I was two and half months old, so I have no real memory of that day, and I know that Daddy was still overseas in the Navy fighting in World War II.  I am so grateful that you meticulously recorded those times in photographs so you and he could share my first months with such obvious love and affection.  There are many holiday photos in that box you left, but this one is my favorite.  You are as beautiful as Daddy always said you were, and you made a Christmas picture that will always stay in my mind and heart long after the photo fades or crumbles.  I miss you.

Love,
Ditty
