It's Never Too Early for Christmas

I've been asked a lot what people can do to help out the family during this awful time. Until yesterday I had very few ideas. Today I have a good one and I hope you will oblige.

Beatrice will not survive until Christmas. It was my one wish left that she would. But, no, that isn't possible.

So, Chris and I have bumped up the date. Bea is in a large hospital room that is set up for hospice care. We have decorated for Christmas and play seasonal music. Even though it's way early, please put one seasonal decoration out on display today and keep it out until the holidays are over. This will pay homage to the life and loves of our Sweet Bea.

  2. We will definitely do this! I will hang our wreath up tomorrow on our door for Bea. I've also changed my profile picture to a pink Christmas tree for Bea and it will stay until after the holidays. Hugs and love to you and many continued prayers. xo

  5. We put a Santa at the top of the driveway, and I have a little Christmas tree up on my desk. Thank you for giving us something to do to honor Bea, and you, and all your family. We love you and think of you all the time. If there is anything at all we can do to help I hope you won't hesitate to call on us.

  6. My daughter just started in Lewis's class and I just learned about your story. We're wishing for strength, love and support for your whole family. We will decorate some of Bea's ornaments tonight and put them out.
