Packing the ornaments from Easton's trees were more difficult than I imagined. I enjoyed putting the trees up and looking at each individual ornament. I could feel so much love and support as each ornament arrived. We labeled all the ornaments as they came in, if they were marked from the sender. I enjoyed walking by the trees in their various locations. I loved staring out my in laws back door at night and seeing the tree lights across the slough. It made me feel so peaceful. As I would stare at the lights out there it would make me think of what a light Easton brought to this world and the continued light he still brings as I think of him.
I'm not sure what or why I felt the way I did as we packed up his ornaments. Maybe every time I put something away for him is like letting another piece of him go. I know he is gone, but his spirit is well and alive. But, it is still tough not having him here physically. Those ornaments were all physical reminders of Easton and the things in life he loved. Although I love the physical reminders, I know the spiritual reminders are most important and more influential. I am thankful for the physical things that help remind me and help me feel that spirit close.
