Dad and I did a lovely thing together today. We were invited by two local organisations to hang a tag in memory of Mom on their Christmas trees. Each tree already had many other tags but there was still space for our memory. We spent some time reading the other tags, the fond memories of loved ones. It was so moving.
Afterwards we sat together and had coffee and set up Dad's Christmas tree. It's lovely to have light and colour in the house at this time of year. I hope it will be of some comfort to Dad.
It got me thinking about what other families do throughout the year to keep the memory of departed loved ones alive in their hearts. I'd love to hear from you, if you do something special that could also help other families.
