What a lovely reminder of the preciousness of life! My husband died right before the pandemic hit and somehow Christmas lost it's glow for me and my daughter. We stopped celebrating the holidays at all. Now three years later I am feeling into a small Christmas vibe but not fully there yet, if ever.
All in good time as they say. Grief is unpredictable and strikes swiftly from the most innocuous things. I am sorry for the pain you must surely carry.
That’s beautiful! Such a whirlwind! It’s funny how such a simple thing like a glass Christmas tree can hold not just so many memories but also a sense of grounding, clarity, and joy. My favorite ornament is a fabric horse with a red yarn mane and yellow with red polka dots body. I got it when I was maybe three and it’s always been first to go on my tree, symbolizing the playful childhood joyful spirit.
Well said 🥰
@Diana Stinati Baur I somehow removed your comment when wanting to edit my own... I wanted to say "Well said, and thank you"

Thank you Dawn 🥰
I feel your pain and sadness. My father left me years back on my birthday and it has never been the same.
The sadness takes another shape over time but it's still there. 🧡
So true. I have just learned to live with it. ♥️
I feel your excitement in the moves that you made as a family. The little tree is a witness to such sweet, exhilarating moments.

Awe! I absolutely love that; your description brought a smile to my face. I bet he is beautiful. :)
