Yesterday we visited my mother in Tampere. I gave her the nightie I made, and a "Christmas hamper", only it was a recycled pillowcase turned into a light shopping bag, filled with vanishing goodies like coffee, tea, biscuits, chocolates and candles. It was lovely to be able to spend the day with her.
On the way home I visited my father's grave as well, and brought him a Christmas candle.
Take care of your loved ones!
A sweet day for you getting to visit your parents. That's the first time I've ever seen a candle placed at a grave. Is that a tradition?
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful for your Mother to receive all those goodies given with so much love.
ReplyDeleteLovely idea to light a candle for your Father too. It's important not to forget those you love even when they have gone.
