Why these moments matter
Sometimes little things make big memories. My mother in law has had cognitive challenges for several years. However, she still lights up when Elvis music is played. Therefore, my wife pulled together an Elvis Christmas party before her parents start an extended road trip. We all had a part but I got asked to be the face of the event. ...did I mention how expensive Elvis impersonators are?
I think we'll look back and say that today was one of the little things. Even my teenage son thought it was cool. My wife saw how important a few moments of family silliness could be, but as with so many other event, I was just along for the ride. It'll be a Blue Christmas without Gammy and Papa but today was a good substitute.
Moments like these matter, not because of what we do, but because what they mean to the people involved ...giving and receiving simple expressions of love. My wife sees them coming, months ahead of time. She's special that way.
