This evening was our last Group event for the year 2016. I absolutely adore The Warm Place and would recommend them to any grieving family with children.
Tonights activity involved creating a Christmas stocking in honor of our loved one(s). So, of course the kids decided to create a double sided stocking. With the five masterminds hard at work here is what we came up with.

| The kids called my dad "blue papa" hence the blue. |
Pops was called "green pawpaw" hence the green.
After our family project, we went outdoors and held a candlelight service. I have never participated in a candlelight service but it was such an inspiring moment to see all the families in a circle there for the same purpose. Honoring their loved ones. A brief five minutes of our time when it felt as though time was standing still. A moment when the person standing next to you understood the importance and meaning behind what was being read. A moment of silence and time to simply say the name of your loved one. A time when you knew, even with tears, that eventually everything would make sense again. A time to remember them.
