St. Patrick's day for our family is not a typical celebration for us. We have an unusual, but very special, tradition that I hope we always keep. For the past 3 years we've gone "up the hill" with my aunt Madeline to visit my cousin, Melissa. Melissa is my aunt's only child and she died 4 years ago on St. Patrick's day. It was a hit and run and the guy who did it had been recklessly celebrating the holiday. Our lives were forever changed that day, but every year we visit and celebrate her life. It makes me sad that my children never got to meet Melissa and I know she would just love them to pieces. But we have such a special time with Tia Madeline every year.
