She gave me a well needed smile!!!!
 

As many of you know, my aunt passed away in Oct. I have been so upset with all that has been going on, I have even taken down the Christmas decoration. I have no drive what so ever this year. I try to hold it together for my family but now with my father in law in the hospital it's been real rough keeping it together.

I got a call form my cousin a little while ago. She is bringing me my aunts music box. It plays you are my sunshine. It was her song. She sang that song to her kids and mine too when they were babies. I havent been able to go to her house since she is no longer there. My cousins had invited those close to her to come and get what they know what my aunt would want them to have. I just couldnt do it. I went by there when going to my couins house who lives just a few blocks from her house and I could not handle it. Even seeing the house knowing she was no longer there just got to me. I thought for sure that the music box was going to be taken by someone knowing that was her song. I was so happy to hear that it was put aside for me. They have other things for my kids too but I couldn't be more happy that they thought of me to give the music box to. I can't stop crying from joy. Thank for reading this. I am so happy and wanted to share my joy! Happy holidays to you all!!!

That is wonderful! Hope it brightens your holidays!! :)

That was very nice of them.. I am glad you are smiling again!!

Ah, I'm sure she would have wanted you to have it. It must hold alot of memories for you. I'm glad you got a memory of her, to keep with you. I think musicboxes are special, especially one like that.

What a great story. I am sorry for your loss....but I am happy that they thought of you!

That's just wonderful Monica. I'm so happy that you are getting the music box. What a cherished thing it will always be to you. Our precious memories are what's most important when we lose someone we love dearly. I know this all to well, and I hope you will put your deco back up...it may help to brighten your spirits. I'm sure your sweet Aunt would want you to enjoy Christmas. Best wishes to you sweetie,

Oh, Monica! That was so nice of them! My mom used to sing that song to us all of the time when we were little, so I can't help but smile when I hear it or think of it. I hope it helps to lessen your pain.
