On the road to the cemetery I pass this beautiful, peaceful lake. It gives me such a sense of God's presence, of His being in control.

The Christmas Wreath Laying
The tradition of placing Christmas wreaths on graves of our fallen military is a very moving event. I attended the placement the first year after my husband passed away in 2011. Since then I have waited until the crowds thin out and I can have my moments of peace to visit with my loved ones.

Knowing that God is in control is the most peaceful feeling of all. My aunt visited Arlington this week and sent me a photo of herself standing with one hand resting on my uncle’s headstone. I love that the wreaths are placed each year now.

It's a truly special place, Mom, and so beautiful there. I love the Wreath Laying...it means so much to those of us who loved a fallen military member and wish we could still have our Christmases with them. Love you!
