Last Christmas was Christian’s first Christmas home in three years. It was also the first year for the entire family (Flanagans, Thompsons, Neals & Andreacchio’s) to spend Christmas Eve at our house. Even my 101 year old grandmother was there. This picture is of MaMa Thompson and all the great grandchildren. She played a large role in Christian’s life and he always said he would never leave Meridian until she was no longer here. Christian always went to see MaMa while he was home between hitches on the boat. I received a card from MaMa the other day stating “I am ready to see Christian again.”
