From one Daddy’s girl to another I completely understand. Hugs and laughter are dearly missed, sweet memories bubble up. The Holidays are a time of remembrance for me.
For All Saints/Souls week this year we made an ancestor altar at our kitchen table. We taped up photos on the window and every evening when we sat down to dinner Amos would ask us to tell stories. By the end he knew everyone's names. He asked for stories about Great Papa and Nicholas. It was one of the more meaningful traditions I started a few years ago and even more so to share it with him. He was disappointed when I took it down, but the photos are still up, just in other places.
I love this. It's so important to continue the stories of our ancestors and family. Stories are what connect us. I forgot to post my photo with my candle for Poppa and Nick. will update.
They are always in our hearts, and it makes my heart soar that you are teaching Amos the power and magic of stories!❤️✨

Nothing like a Daddy's girl. Thank you for sharing. I'm glad it's a time of remembrance. ❤️
BIG hugs.
