After Christy Hester lost her husband, Richard, in January, there was one thing she was having trouble parting with: his glasses.
“You get rid of some things and hold onto some things, and you don’t know why,” said Christy. “He…just helped make people happy, he was funny, he was a jokester. He always let me know how much he loved me.”
Christy, who lives in Twin Lake on the west side of the state, said she was wondering what to do with the glasses until a post on Pinterest gave her inspiration.
She grabbed some acrylic paint, pipe cleaners, and a Sharpie and got to work crafting a remembrance ornament — turning her husband’s glasses into a snowman for the Christmas tree.
“There were lots of tears, but I think it’s healing,” said Christy.
Nice!
