My father passed away in 1997 and the first Christmas without him (or so we thought) proved to bbe the most special Christmas of all. I grew up in a family of 12 siblings and one of them decided to bring "DAD" home for christmas this year and had strung all the buildings and outside ntivity with 1 string of lights snd this poem.

"There's a meaning behind all the lights hanging here at home.
It's not just a string of lights, it's a string of LIFE and LOVE.
Each string represents one of us kids, along with Mom and Dad.
There are thirteen that glow all the time.
Those are for us kids and Mom who are here
and the blinking angels are to remind us of Dad and Jeffery.
Each string of lights can shine on its own,
but strung together, we become a peice of Art."
