When our first child was born in May of 1978, the mother of one of my closest friends created this ornament for him. I loved her like a second mom, and although she passed away several years ago I feel her presence every year when I place this ornament on our tree.
I call this one, “Sweetest Memories.”

so sweet and so precious………it’s the little things like this bring true joy

My friend and I have grown apart in recent years–politics have divided us. I texted her the photo of this and she responded. Maybe we can begin talking again.

That was such a sweet gift. I hope you and your friend can get a bit closer again despite the political differences.
