My Angel Tree


Twenty years ago, I bought my first Hallmark Mary's Angel ornament.  It was the same year that we lost our first baby, Heather Dawn.  I wanted to buy something in memory of her and when I saw these ornaments it seemed to be perfect thing I was looking for.  I've bought one every year since, except for one.  Last year, we figured out which year was missing, it was the fifth year.  Who knows why I didn't buy one, maybe got too busy.  Well, Tom went on e-bay and found the missing ornament and was surprised they were going for a lot more than what I paid for them!  He ended buying that one ornament for $80!  They originally go for $5-$8. So now I have the complete set.  I'm not sure how long Hallmark will be making these cute little angel ornaments, but I look forward to what next years will be.  

I can't believe it's been 22 years - all those years ago.  A tree full of angels, in memory of our precious angel, Heather Dawn, in the arms of Jesus.
