Hi All,
I haven't visited lately however the year annversary is looming for me, Christmas morning actually...a tough day since its also Christmas, I recently found some old photos of my boy, and my Mom's lab, Shadow, was PTS on Monday, age 14 with cancer, so it just reawakened my pain....I just wondered if anyone had any good ideas for preserving the anniversary day...without spoiling the holiday, something maybe that I can do every year to keep his memory alive, I am feeling like its like a dream, feels so long ago now...and I am still fighting the fact that he is not here right now...craziness I am sure...any thoughts I would appreciate them...

You are all my saviors and I am grateful for LS to be able to come back when I need you, BIG HUGE HUG TO ALL>>>>
Lots of Love, Tory, Hrudey and Fuzzies Momma, and now new Auggie boy, 8 mos old... Happy Holidays to you as well unsure.gif

Christmas Day ...sounds like a hard anniversary. But to make Buddy a part of it and still have the Holiday you might think of.........

take your favorite photo of him and go to target, Walmart, wherever a place that does prints and have them make that photo into an 8x10...nice and big. Then look for a special frame..maybe Christmasy or maybe silver, like tinsel color.. and put that picture in the frame and put it in the room you are in the most at Christmas and in a prominent place so you can look at it and know he is spending the Holiday with you and you know in that picture....he will be happy and healthy and it is a part of the good memories.
You might even have 2 frames...a special one for Christmas Day until the tree comes down and the other for the rest of the year...to see him close by. Maybe drape some tinsel on the frame or decorate it somehow or maybe there are frames that have Holly or something Christmas on the frame itself...just a thought that sounded like a way to make Buddy very much a part of the Holiday...maybe he's even got a Christmas stocking that could be by the picture.

Maybe others have more ideas or any of these ideas might make you think of something that you feel would be perfect. I hope it helps.
