We are grateful for our friends in Louisiana as they have always been there for my sister, Marisol. Today wreaths are being placed across the United States. Our friends were there in our places since we could not make it. Wreaths Across America honors our fallen and veterans while educating the public about service and remembrance.
Over the years, Marisol has made new friends who come to visit her, share their thoughts and struggles, sometimes have a drink with her, keep us updated when we can't be there, bring her hot Cheetos, flowers for her birthday and wreath during Christmastime. ✨
Today, we appreciate Alex and Chad for visiting Marisol and being there for our family. We missed her dearly. ♥️
To my Gold Star families and friends, I understand how difficult holidays can be regardless of how long your loved one has been gone. Grief is not a linear process. It's important to be gentle with yourself and cry if you need to. Hugs release "feel-good hormones" that help with sadness, so hug your loved ones or your fur babies.
Speak the names of our loved ones and share their stories with others. Find comfort in memories made with them, and may their legacy continue. 💕
One love,
Her big sis, C.
