Mom would reminisce about the events of the year that reminded her of special times she shared with friends and family that were meaningful and fun. After telling me all the wonderful stories and seeing me giggle, (I was about eight at the time), she would begin writing her cards in which she would include a personal message, relating to those fun times, specifically to each person she was addressing. It was a very special time for me to share in Mom\u2019s past together with her, and I remember how pleased and delighted everyone was after reading their personalized greeting cards and called her to continue talking about those fun times.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/product\/love-peace-joy-wreath-holiday-card-300198.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5935\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/70PCX.jpg\" alt=\"  \t Love, Peace, Joy Wreath Holiday Card\" width=\"399\" height=\"598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/70PCX.jpg 399w, https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/70PCX-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 399px) 100vw, 399px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now, many, many years later, I find myself following in Mom\u2019s footsteps.
