We did the last of our Christmas shopping tonight which included taking C to the mall so he could buy Christmas presents. While there we went to the ornament store and he picked out a big brother ornament, and an ornament for Scott. He also bought a Christmas present for scott tonight and he donated to Toys for Tots. We are in a place this year were the holidays aren't so sad for us and we have decided since we are in a better place to find a place in our celebrating for Scott to be a part of. He may not be here physically but he is with us in spirit and he will always be a part of our family. The ornaments and the gift were our ways of having him celebrate the holidays with us. I have also made two photo cards with pics of us from the MOD walk to send to the two NICUS Scott was in during his short life. Our way of saying thank you to the nurses and to let them know that we still think about them.
The toy C picked out for Scott was a ladder truck. He said than scott would have a ladder truck just like him and they could put out fires together.

You have found beautiful ways to include Scott in your Christmas celebration. So special that let Colin pick out the perfect gift and ornament for his brother. Wishing you peace and happiness this holiday season.
Many hugs,

What an awesome way to honor Scott and celebrate this season of giving. I love that you're teaching Colin about giving and love and the spirit of Christmas and that love never, ever dies.
I hope this becomes a cherished tradition that brings you joy each and every year.
So much love to you,
Tommie
This just melts my heart.
Much love,
