Oh Christmas Tree...

Last year we were all saddened by the tragic events that took place in Newtown CT. It hit me like a ton of bricks and broke my Christmas spirit, to the point where I felt guilty being able to celebrate.  I turned off the lights on my Christmas tree and took it down a couple of days after the tragedy. That very same day I made a vow to all those lives lost...next year I would decorate my tree in memory of them. This year my entire tree is decorated with angels, all of them in tiny little clouds. Dear children, I kept my promise and didn't forget you, nor will I ever. 
Rest in paradise sweet sweet Angels.
