A piece of who you are


My mom had a wonderful and thoughtful idea for a gift for Bri's birthday- to preserve and frame the flag that belonged to his father, Tom, who passed away when he was 18 months old. Bri's mom was nice enough to give us permission to do so, and sent the flag to my mom to work her magic.

I think we were all shocked at how beautiful it turned out. Esther had included his dates of service with the military, which my mom added to the plaque.
It goes without saying that Brian was incredibly touched, and very proud to have something of Tom's that we can hang in our home.
