Christmas Tree

I put up my Christmas tree today. Why? Hell if I know. It was so horribly painful to even consider hanging the ornaments.

Judy my dear friend
You know my heart will be with you this Christmas and that my home is your home whenever you need it.
Remember that Dustin is in heaven, looking down, and rooting for his mom to feel better, knowing he is free from illness and in loving arms.
Your life must go on, as tough as the road is, for you, for Ty and for Dustin.

Love you dearly
You're in my thoughts

I'm glad i stopped in..I had decided not to put up a tree again this year..I hate being alone..and it seemed a waste of space and time to even bother..Christmas has always been my time of the year..huge tree..i have so many ornaments and lights i have to have at least a 6-7 footer..i was so proud of that tree every year..but i also has someone to share it with..when that was gone..so was my desire to do all that..it just became a bother...but readin this..thinking on it..if briar can do it..so can i..she has been thru ten thousand times worse than me..so why am i whining and cryin..I'm gonna put mine up too..even if i'm the only person that see's it..Thanks Briar..for making me feel a lil christmas spirit..

*hangs a star for you*

Awwwwwww you are all so sweet and thoughtful. "Thank-You". Putting up that tree was another step to moving forward. Regardless of how difficult it was, I did it and I am glad I did!! I did it for my "boys". It may be a simple looking tree, but it has meaning, memories and many many tomorrows to shine bright. Maybe as the weeks pass and Christmas draws nearer, I will place one ornament a week or perhaps two a week, until the tree is beaming with beauty and love. Thanks again for helping me move thru another step to feeling better.

Judy,
I have something for you I want to send you in the mail, but need to know if your address is still the same as before?

It means alot to me for you to have this and I'd love to get it out to you as soon as I can.

*sits back and admires the beauty of a simple tree*

Yeah, I'm gonna be a emotional fruit-cake now, I know.

*sighs lightly and smiles*

A Christmas tree is more than just lights and ornaments. It's an expression of who you are and where you've been.
Even though this holiday will be a real tough one for you, always remember, there are people out there in this great big world who love you and will hold you close this season and for many more to come.
