Description: Kelsey Lizee Cecil on losing both parents and publishing Rally Takes the Train, the children's book her mom always wanted to write.

Parenting at Christmas after losing your mom means stepping into the role she played for you while you're missing her at the same time. You don't have to recreate everything she did. Choose the few things your kids care about most, carry one or two of her touches forward, and give yourself permission to let the rest go.
