I have photo ornaments of many of our beloved pets who are gone and it makes us happy to see the little faces each year. They brought us so much joy.
Thanks Sue, there are alot of people that have a hard time enjoying the holidays because grief is more intense during this time. Grief often robs us of our good memories if we let it but it is really hard to find our way beyond the grief during the holidays. My Dad would not have wanted that as he loved Christmas so I have always hung onto that thought...it has helped. I enjoy Christmas again and include his memory with a new ornament. Something to do with music as he was a musician. That was why I bought the trumpet.
