Dear 1036: Evergreen Memories

Dearly Beloved 1036 Clarence,

We always had a special decorative piece displayed on our front door.

During Advent time leading to the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Lord on Christmas Day, we had an evergreen wreath, as is quite typical at this time of year.  It complimented the evergreen garland on the stairs.

The wreath evokes the evergreen trees:  While other trees drop their leaves by the arrival of winter, the evergreen trees remain green, symbolizing eternal life.

Just like the wreath, I continue to circle back to those wonderful blessed memories I have of you, which shall never fade into the background, but ever remain deep in my heart.

We are indeed ever connected in a way that transcends time, for what I experienced in you is in the fibers of my being, and has brought me alive as the person God has made me to be, that I may, in this life, attain the Abundant Life that leads to Heaven.

All my relations.

I'm not just lucky to have been with you for so many years, I am truly blessed.

With much love, joy, and gladness,

God's blessings,

Paul
