Valentines Day Tree

I told you before about the Memorial Tree and how it came about so now I thought that over the next few days I wold show you each tree that we decorated for and with Mandy.
This one is the Valentines day tree, it has hearts on sticks that later we used to heart attack our neighbors lawn, we covered the lawn with these sticks it was so fun and they loved it.

We also used a heart garland with the hearts on a stick

We took Christmas ribbon with wire in it to wrap around the Christmas lights to make faerie lights and then strung it across the entrance.

Mandy was so cute here, she took this curly ribbon and put it where she had just had radiation and the bald spot it created to pretend it was hair. She really was a trooper because I know that it really bothered her but she did not like to let it show. Only in quiet moments when everyone else was gone would she come in to my room and we would talk. She would share her fears, sorrows and troubles. Talk about feeling helpless......

We loved this sign, it stayed up the entire time she was ill and she only used positive thoughts to help get through this disease.
