How wonderful to have these notes from her. The spring my mother was dying, (I was in my mid-30's), she came to our house and planted bulbs. She said when the next spring came around, she might not be with me, but the blooms would be a reminder of her. They were.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-20680043253622305212016-01-05T08:03:50.101-08:002016-01-05T08:03:50.101-08:00Oh how wonderful to read those notes from your mot...Oh how wonderful to read those notes from your mother!

Partly because my heart wasn't in it, partly because I just don't have the space and mostly because I've found I'm allergic to cut trees. But I miss the memories that would float out of a gift from Russia, or Germany, or France: the person who chose it for me or the little shop in Paris where I found it. Now they've been given to the girls and I enjoy seeing them peek out of the branches on their trees.merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904762440378337600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4031080477103832810.post-58651840915687143842016-01-05T06:38:40.372-08:002016-01-05T06:38:40.372-08:00I haven't put up a tree or gotten out cherishe...I haven't put up a tree or gotten out cherished ornaments, given by a myriad of friends around the world, since Mom died 16 years ago.

Tomorrow is the 6th .... the 12th day of Christmas.. twelve drummers drumming ........the epiphany... ending the Christmas season, so you still have time to deChristmas your surroundings. I am still packing up some ornaments myself. By February they will be collecting dust if they are left out. I think it is always such a great feeling to hold an ornament in my hands and remember a Christmas moment... a discussion.... a song or a family gathering. It's awesome to have ornaments as old as me. Thank you for sharing, Kerry.
