One of my special memories of MacKenzie took place during Christmas week. I had arrived to help Steve after his surgery. It began to snow and we had no tree or decorations for the holidays. We wanted a tree and MacKenzie said she had a miniature tree at home that she would bring over. Actually she brought a pink tree for her room and a green tree for downstairs. We put it on a small stool her great grandpa had made. Then she pulled out all the little ornaments, lights and a star. She and Nikki began to take turns decorating the tree with MacKenzie directing us on how she wanted it to be done. Steve started a Christmas movie, and I prepared our party food platter. Finally the angel was to be placed and MacKenize wanted her dad to place it on top. Tree lights and one blessed angel shining in the dark room created a magical moment. We took pictures and life moved on. The simplest of moments had passed but will never be forgotten by me.
