If You’re Missing Someone This Christmas
“So last year, was a really tough year for us. We lost our daughter, Annie. People talk about grief, pain, fear, sorrow. All of these words, can’t really describe how you feel when you really go through the loss of a loved one. Even though we held onto hope, that we would somehow see her again, it was just a brutal time that we were going through, right at Christmas. It felt pretty hard to celebrate.
And then I found this song. It was just a video on Facebook by this Christian artist and he was singing about the very struggle I was having. As my wife and I listened to the words of this song, it expressed exactly what we were feeling. It also gave us what we needed at the time. That was comfort. So many people struggle with loss at this time of year, not just me. If you are missing someone this Christmas, I want to dedicate this song to you. I also want to dedicate it to Annie, my sweet Annie, who I miss very much.”

I will miss my sweet Steve forever, especially at this time of year. Four years is such a nothing time when compared to the eternities I look forward to spending with him, but until then such music as this brings hope and comfort .
Thank you.

Thank you..I needed to hear this and be reminded my sister, my litter mate, (I’m a year older) will be having a joyous time, singing off key With the angel choirs. I had to say good-bye last January to my hero who never once complained and always tried to find the brighter side of things. I think of Penny every day…we both loved Christmas and shared so many of them over the years. Our faith got us through. I know she is safe in the arms of our Lord, Jesus whom we celebrate at this Season. Penny as been shimming her way around the angels this passed year showing them how it is done! Rest in Glorious Peace my sweet Angel. I will love you forever !!
