My Mom and I went to the Kemper Center for a day of Christmas festivities together. It is a historic venue hosting a Christmas market and tree expo. We were excited and filled with love not only because of the holiday spirit but because my Mom had her wedding at this same place over 10 years ago. We looked at the large building reminiscing this special day and took a quick detour to see if the door to the chapel was open before heading into the area setup for the holiday festivities. The door to the chapel was locked but after pulling in the door I saw something in the bush! It was the quilted heart. My mom said she didnt notice it and wouldn’t have picked it up but it called to me and I carefully took it off its branch to reveal the back feating a velociraptor with a Santa hat. My Mom loves to remember me as her baby boy who knew every dinosaur’s name. This ornament was meant for me.
