at the top of the tree

No fairy this year but a gingerbread man who arrived from New Zealand one year from a lady member in 365 who was unwell.

Sadly she passed away from her illness but is remembered by me as an extremely courageous person.
A poignant tree topper.

Oh dear Andrea……I miss her every time I go to NZ. She was such a brave treasure who dealt with her illness with fortitude & courage. So lovely to have that memento every Christmas. I have a silver chain with a bell on the end…she told me every time I ring it to remember her. It used to hang on the fireplace in the old house but it’s in a drawer here….I must get it out & perhaps put on the Christmas tree.
She would have a link to you in your pain. X

It would be good to have the silver chain and bell out at Christmas to remember Andrea. She had the most fortitude. I'm going to be ever grateful, Pat, for the positive outcome of my osteoarthritis.....
