A Special Find

I do NOT have time to be posting this now, but I just have to.

While digging through the kids’ tree box to find all of Abby’s ornaments so she can hang them on her own tree at the apartment, I found something that took my breath away.

I means nothing to anyone else. In fact, it was just “an extra” for me, hence it landing in the kids’ box. I honestly don’t even know if I got it from the sender I’d expect or not, but now. Now? This is priceless.

For any of you who knew Lisa, you know why this matters. Why this will never go into a “kids” box again. Why it will never leave tissue and special packing, but for the holidays where it will have a special, and probably aesthetically horrible spot. Because really? Who besides Lisa decorates with Ziggy anymore?

I wasn’t given the opportunity to go through her things…I don’t know why. It’s a “Summa” thing, I’m sure, which means I’ll never understand. All I would have wanted was a Ziggy or two. A Christmas ornament or two. An angel, a snowman and maybe…a pair of her scrubs. Not much. Memorabilia. I’ll not get it.

But, I have this. And now, maybe…just maybe, I’m ready for Christmas.
