We are often blessed with the kind of friend that their loss is even more traumatic than losing a family member. It sounds like you are working through your grief and trying to lift your spirits the way she would want you to do.

A few weeks ago a friend from CA suddenly died of a heart attack. She was very creative and lavished her friends with lovely things she made. This Christmas I unpacked the beautiful glass ornament she had crocheted a beaded jacket for. I unpacked three Christmas napkins she had made by hand-stitching the hems. On the back of one of my living room chairs I have a blanket made for me by the lovely ladies I met with on Friday afternoons. Each of them crocheted or knit or made a counted cross stitch square, then one of them crocheted the squares together. The yarn that held the blanket together was donated by my creative friend. I remembered it well because she started making a sweater for herself with it, but decided she did not like the way it looked on her so she frogged all her stitches :) Somewhere in one of my Bibles, I think, I also have a delicate bookmark she crocheted. Each item I have that was a part of her life causes me to both celebrate her life, and mourn that I can no longer enjoy her presence in my life on earth.<br /><br />I care about what you are experiencing now, Anne. I too appreciate your Advent Star and your poinsettia plant as they prompt you to celebrate your friend's life while you mourn her absence from you.<br /><br />Love with hugs from,<br />Gracie<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />star and poinsettia as they help you in the process of celebrating your friend's life while mourning her absence with you nowGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618470315165003709.post-10806234799077427482013-12-03T04:26:30.033+00:002013-12-03T04:26:30.033+00:00Dear Anne...

That would be a good memorial to her, to live well. Keep decorating and I love your flowers! In fact, I got all interested in your Scandinavian electric candelabra and just got one off eBay!!<br /><br />❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉<br />*M*E*R*R*Y* *C*H*R*I*S*T*M*A*S*!*<br />❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ ❉ <br /><br />((hugs)), Teresa :-) Teresa Kasnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228404538876664577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618470315165003709.post-61053682713203017292013-12-02T23:32:45.444+00:002013-12-02T23:32:45.444+00:00Hi Anne,

My mom passed on December 31 - such a tough day.<br /><br />The outing to mail letters to Santa and have hot dogs and strawberry milkshakes sounds wonderful though!!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />Kay<br />505whimsygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16594635228441769910noreply@blogger.com
