“I held him close for only a short time, but after he was gone, I’d see his smile on the face of a perfect stranger & I knew he would be there with me all the rest of my days.” -storypeople


We don’t really talk about the hardness of it all anymore. We can all feel the weight of the emptiness when we’re together. His death forever changed us and we’ve all had to find our way through to the other side. Interesting how when you get there the hurting stops, but the void is ever constant–you never really are whole again. So instead we share stories and remember him they way he was.

Each year going to the grave in December, sharing a bit of Christmas with him, is healing. Most the time it’s a bit chaotic with kids helping/playing in the snow, but I know it’s exactly what he would want.

He was a bit rowdy himself or a lot rowdy and imagine him loving how our family has grown. This year we sang Christmas carols around the tree. I’m not sure why exactly, except it did feel festive.

If I have learned one thing through this experience it’s that we all have our own story, our own tragedy, our own emptiness, our own longing, our own sadness that we are trying to work through. I hope the holidays does not become a time to mourn about what is missing, but a celebration of what we have and what we have been blessed with. Each year I am doing better and better at putting the emptiness aside and loving Christmas–remembering with the birth of Christ came the gift of eternal families. And for that I will be forever grateful.

Merry Christmas!
