Shortly after playing with her new toys my daughter asked to see the ornament and I handed it to her, “Its amazing, Can I hang it on the tree mom?!”

“Of course! Go for it!” I told her. She hung it right in the centre of the tree and it lit up the room brilliantly. 

I told her she picked the perfect spot.

We spent the rest of the day playing with her new toys and a lot of beautiful new memories were created, while we also reminisced about past christmases and the love that was shared then, while also feeling the peace, joy, love and happiness now and for years to come. 

Christmas is still hard without my mom but looking at that ornament will forever remind me of her presence in my life and the love that never fails even after death.
