I love your page. Your photos are beautiful and your journaling is heart touching. I’m so sorry about the loss of your parents. I know how hard that is. I am glad you were able to make new Christmas memories!
Oh, Linda - I can't even imagine! Traditions are a wonderful thing, whether old or new, like friends. This put me in mind of an old song we sang at camp -Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold. Hopefully time will allow for both. Hugs!
So sorry for your loss. Very touching journaling and I love that you took that trip. Christmas has never been the same for me since my mom passed Dec. 20, 1992, thirty years ago. She loved it so much.
