Bradley’s Heart AngelThe smell of Fir Tree permeates the air as our Christmas Tree came into the house last night. Maarten has placed it in its base, trimmed the branches, put the lights on and placed the Golden Angel on top. My part is placing each of the ornaments on…..remembering the stories and love that goes with each creative gift.
My sister Bonnie’s youngest son Bradley died the end of August, 2009, and will be remembered by a sparkly silver heart. "Brad with Kyla and Michael"
I placed her on the dining room table with the Clare’s Candle that had been created and prayed over while it was being made, by Sister Doreen of the St. Clare Sisters. This is the table where in the wee small hours of the morning I wrote in my journal by the light of Clare’s Candle and wrote to Brad after he had died.
The last picture was of Bradley’s Heart Angel holding a gossamer bag. What would your gift be that the magic bag holds?

I knew Bradley’s Heart ornament would be the first on the tree. So I asked Brad “Where would you like it to be?” I wept as I looked at the picture and got up to get a tissue.
The pictures were of his Candles and Ashes Ceremony at Maarnada.
Bradley has taught us much in his early passing. Sometimes it is as easy as a few words that are the key to the heart. Nadina Stewart Schaddelee,
