The last gift my Grandson gave his Grandfather and me before he passed away was this tree. It had scratch it lottery tickets on it. I just had to keep it and I spruced it up a bit. Grandfather sprayed the branches with 'GOLD' paint and I looked around for a vase for it to sit in. I Had made the lace angels , "rainbow' ones and placed them on the tree which stands in our doorway.I made 13 ( the age he would have been this Christmas) and every year I will add another to the tree.

Dear Ros, what a beautiful tribute to your grandson. I like to think of it as the Tree of Life and of course every time you put a leaf on it you will think of the life of your grandson. God bless you at this time of year and I hope you and your family have a blessed Christmas.

Love and blessings Chris
