I put up my Christmas tree, first time since losing my husband almost 14 months ago. It turned out to be bittersweet for me; although I love decorating for Christmas, it is still tinged with sadness. As I went through the ornaments, I was reminded of our firsts as a married couple. It brought back memories of decorating the tree together, hanging the ornaments, talking about what we were thankful for as the holidays were upon us.

I thought that the first year was supposed to be the hardest and indeed it was hard on my heart but I am finding that a year later is proving to be even harder for me. If you put up a Christmas tree and/or decorations, may it bring wonderful memories for you and cause you to pause and let those close to your heart know how much they mean to you.
