The Greatest Gift

Dec 22, 2019 ·

Lisa & Bill with our grandchildren

Please welcome the newest addition to our family, Sammy. Along with Annabelle this will be a most magical Christmas seen through the eyes of a 3 1/2 year old. We’ve already had some fun baking cookies and wrapping presents and now looking forward to the feast of seven fishes and the glee of Christmas morning.

The greatest gift of all, of course, is being surrounded by those you love most in life and in spirit. I hope you can feel the presence. Just believe <3

my son and me

Whatever you celebrate I wish you the happiest of holidays. Thank you for gathering here with me and sharing your thoughts and wisdom on grief. I encourage you to talk about the ones you have loved and lost. Say their names out loud and tell a few stories.

<3

Someone who is remembered is someone well loved.

      Sammy is healthy and sweet and Annabelle is the best big sister. She is responding to the dog trying to get treats out of the cabinet which was very funny. Wishing you all the very best for a happy holiday surrounded by ALL your boys.
