but life reminds us that we must. This Christmas I was in self-imposed quarantine with the flu, holding a pity party for one, when my brother texted me this photo, and in the fashion of the Grinch, my heart grew three sizes that day. It’s the tree that he and I, and his wife planted in honor of our dad last fall, mixing some of his ashes with the soil. Instead of buying a tree, or cutting one down to decorate for the Yuletide, Brozilla and seestor-in-law adorned dad’s dwarf spruce, clearing away the snow and adding garlands and lights as a festive reminder that though he is gone, we haven’t let him go too far. This year has taught me that it is okay to be wrong (because at some point in your life, you have been, and most likely will be again). It’s okay to have made mistakes and floundered, to have taken people in our lives for granted, if only the acute loss of them shows us that it’s never too late to tell the people that are still left how much we appreciate and adore them. This year will be over soon enough, but may we endeavor to keep the lessons it has taught us for the rest of our lives.
