It was a snowy day, and very peaceful. Only two days before Christmas,
everyone was out shopping, and my daughter and I were alone at
last.
Life had been very chaotic as my daughter was terminally ill,
and only
had a week or two left to live.  We sat on the couch with her pillow in my lap and her special
blanket wrapped around her. At the end of the couch was a two
foot
Christmas tree covered with "Angels" that family and
friends who came by
brought to add to our special tree.
Not saying much verbally, just holding each others hand and
playing with a piece of her hair, I moved the curtain aside to
look at
the snow. She said "MOM can you always use the tree,
so that I can be
with you on the holiday?"
Well it's been five years now, and there sits our "SPECIAL
ANGEL TREE" by the side of our bed. We so enjoy the Holidays
with her by
our side.
