Memorial Christmas Lights

Last night at the support group session, I found another way to remember Ed during the holidays. I have made a donation to HomeReach Hospice to help light the Hospice Holiday Tree at the Franklin County Government Center. Fittingly, the program is called "Light Up a Life." Christmas has always been our favorite holiday, so to do this is meaningful for me. I have arranged for 8 lights on the tree in Ed's memory with the idea that they are from the 8 of us: Sherry, Debbie, Eddie, Judi, Dave, Becky, Melissa, and me. Despite my indecision about decorating the house for Christmas, putting up a tree--every time I think about it I can't decide how I feel about all that--I knew in an instant that I wanted to do this.
