Collectively, the crowd gasped right along with Owen. And then, instantly, the giant tree in the center of town lit up, a brilliant display of twinkling multicolored lights that cast their glow over the awestruck crowd fanning out from the base of the tree in all directions. “Oh, Daddy!” Janey said from her spot in his arms, her voice filled with wonder. “It’s bee-yoo-tiff-ul.” He squeezed her tight, then looked down at her face and saw the magic of the season produce a radiant smile. “Yes, it is, isn’t it?” He’d expected to be sad when he saw the tree light up without Kristy by his side. He’d counted on the upsetting emotion, actually. So much so he hadn’t even considered coming to the lighting ceremony last year. Surprisingly, though, while there would always be a part of him that missed Kristy and grieved for her, seeing Janey so cheerful, so filled with Christmas wonder, made him realize that coming here tonight with Sara and Mia had been the best choice he’d made in a long time.
