Some people have asked me why I don't want to put up a tree this year for Christmas? Some have said it will make you feel better, and I say no it will not. The Christmas tree for my family has always been about sharing time together putting the lights and ornaments on it. A time to laugh, guess what is under the tree, and to make memories as we go along the way. The tree has always been special to us as we share how Jesus was born. This year I have decided not to do the tree. Oh I know you may think I am terrible for not doing this, to tell the truth I just don't think I can make a memory this year without Daniel. We are lost without him, our hearts have a huge hole, and nothing will ever fill that void. I am angry because life is not fair. How do you breath one minute to the next without a child you raised for 22 years? Where is the fairness in all of this? And yes I do ask God why? I may never know the answer but as a mother I have to ask this question. I ask that you pray for my family this Christmas Season.
Thanks,
Pennie
