My mother’s Christmas tree is full of ornaments that have meaning. Last year I got this ornament for her and one for my aunt.

It’s says “in loving memory” with an image of my grandparents from their wedding day. (I couldn’t help but buy one for myself too.) I never had the chance to meet my grandfather. He passed away when my mom was just 12 years old. I always wish I had the chance to have met him.

I know when I see his photo that it is possible to miss someone you’ve never met.

Seeing photos of him and my grandmother happy and in love makes me smile and it also makes me wonder how my life would have been different with him in it.

This one is a favorite on my tree! ~shared by @millieholloman
