Yes, Christmas especially is a time to reflect on relationships with loved ones and the meaning those special people bring to our lives. <br /><br />Your advent calendar is very pretty and is so wonderful you are able to open the days of the calendar in different countries altogether!

When a young mother is lost it makes you stop in your tracks a bit doesn't it? It happened here in our school during the year as well and there were many times after that I just wanted to stop everything, find my girl and give her a big huge hug. Thank you for the reminder.<br />On another note, I just knew your advent calendar would be beautiful...<br />xBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071999450731273883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623577050145803988.post-9978928307682482952011-12-01T21:27:26.780+11:002011-12-01T21:27:26.780+11:00Ps my thoughts go out to not only you but her fami...Ps my thoughts go out to not only you but her family, especially her children.<br />I will think of them when I sneak in to check on mine before bed tonight.<br />Poor little darlings to lose their Mum.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942300231374421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623577050145803988.post-74854952893660744642011-12-01T21:25:53.669+11:002011-12-01T21:25:53.669+11:00What a gorgeous advent calendar and what a lovely ...What a gorgeous advent calendar and what a lovely tribute to your friend.<br />So much to be grateful for in this life.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942300231374421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623577050145803988.post-53904674918288932182011-12-01T21:22:40.845+11:002011-12-01T21:22:40.845+11:00These look gorgeous and so sorry for the loss of y...These look gorgeous and so sorry for the loss of your friend.
