Christmas Eve

Annually, on Christmas Eve, Mike would go out and deliver his mother’s delicious cookies and other baked goods to all of his friend’s houses. I always looked forward to it and was so thankful. The last time he did his rounds we invited him in and he hung out with us for a bit which is such a cherished memory. I’ve made it my tradition to go visit his tombstone every Xmas Eve and this year (2024) I even left him a cookie my fiancée baked. That was also when I first saw the turning hearts QR code, I love this idea 🤍
