WELL DANG I am pissed! I am decorating taking out all my ornaments getting ready for kids to come home tomorrow to do the tree....the year Billy died my good friend gave me a very special angel ornament it glows different colors and turns on the tree in his memory...it is BROKEN...I guess I didn't wrap it good enough. OK...deep breath...I sat down cried for awhile mainly cause I am trying not to just FUNK out over holidays. It is a freaking ornament!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will go find us a new one today!!!! Is so funny to me the excuses we let ourselves have to drink and just ball up and veg out. It is an ornament! It isnt like he lives in the darn thing...LOL So, regrouped and finishing up now but wanted to share my story....many many time...this would have been a trip to the store for booze and I would have spent the rest of the day looking at pictures saying poor me and holding my broken angel ornament like a sad soul. May not have made it to work til Wednesday or Thursday I would have been so depressed. Really it is keeping it in perspective.

Britt, it is just an ornament, not him. Maybe this happened for a reason like to tell you to break from the past. Your doing great and I love you for it.

Hi Britt
I totally get why you might cry over something like that- I attach sentimental stuff to things like that too. I had a friend who passed away and he had given me a beautiful glass ball ornament. I broke it. I cried. And then I picked up the pieces. I got myself a small, clear plastic box and put the pieces in it. I put a string on it and I still put it on the tree. My friend would have laughed his ass off and every year it makes me smile.
