On this day before the night before Christmas, I thought this a touching clip. Clara Ford wrote this letter just before Christmas to a close friend. She wrote of the loss of her husband of many years, Henry Ford. For anyone watching, I hope it brings a tear, a smile, and a sense of Christmas past. Merry Christmas
