My husband, Doug, leaned in and focused on the ramp where suitcases thumped and banged onto the conveyor belt. The bright red roller belonging to our son\u2019s fianc\u00e9e tumbled out, but Doug couldn\u2019t grab it as it whizzed past. Several more bags passed before he managed to wrestle his own off the belt and dragged it over. That\u2019s when we all noticed&#8230; the zipper of the front pocket was open. Doug ran his hand inside.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cChris\u2019s hat is gone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Hadn\u2019t we lost enough? We were here to embark on a Christmas cruise, to help us heal, help us move on from the tragedy that had upended our lives just five months earlier. Our son, Chris, had died suddenly from an undetected heart condition. He was only 29, engaged to be married to his fianc\u00e9e, Lauren, that August. In the aftermath of Chris\u2019s death, Lauren, Doug and I wanted to spend Christmas together<strong>,<\/strong> but none of us wanted to spend the holiday at home. We debated whether or not going away would be any better.<\/p>\n<p>It was Doug who\u2019d found the hat. A Detroit Tigers baseball cap. Chris had worn it often, but it had gone missing after his death. Then Doug took Chris\u2019s suitcase out of storage and discovered the cap in the front pocket. To us, it was a sort of sign. We\u2019d go on the cruise with Lauren, and bring a piece of our son with us.<\/p>\n<p>Now we had lost it.<\/p>\n<p>I tried my best to keep it together. Maybe the hat was still on the plane, somewhere in the cargo bay. But still, losing it, even for a little while, brought so much grief back up to the surface. I could see it all over Lauren\u2019s face.<\/p>\n<p>Her expression suddenly changed. A look of confusion. Then disbelief. Then a smile. She ran to the edge of the conveyor belt. What did she see? I followed after her.<\/p>\n<p>It was her red suitcase, the one Doug had missed the first time around. Except this time, perched directly on top, like someone had placed it there, was Chris\u2019s baseball cap.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cMy baby wanted to come on this cruise with us,\u201d Lauren said.\n <\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your most moving Christmas memory? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/mysteriousways\/posts\/952852141458455\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, '', 'resizable=no,status=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,fullscreen=no,scrollbars=no,dependent=no'); return false;\">Share it now on our Mysterious Ways Facebook Page. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Round and round the baggage carousel turned, swarmed by the passengers from our flight to Tampa, all anxiously awaiting their luggage.
