This is an old poem I dont have the feelings of wanting her back, but alass Im still alone. Christmas Alone By Richard Maxfield 12-11-98 Christmas day is so very near And you my love will not be here Christmas morning never be the same no longer together who is to blame Mistletoe hung high over the door Sweet taste of you kiss never more One light in the window twinkles all alone Flashes bright for the one that’s not home So many years all we have had This Christmas morning will be so sad Think of us how it used to be When Christmas day Was you and me I will wake just our daughter and me Spend that special day You, we will not see The gift I desire can not be To wake Christmas morning with you beside me So when you wake so far from home Your in our hearts so we are not alone |

It is not easy being alone and when the holidays come around it can be alot harder. Just remember one thing. I know this is an old one and I hope now that you once again have someone special to share the holiday with. Happy Holidays to you and may you find some peace in it as well. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Though sadness lingers in your heart, may happiness dwell in a special place to know that something special came out of your love, your daughter, who is a miracle Merry Christmas! |

 Like you, I was a single father at one time in my life and now my son is 22 and I have remarried. It was a very difficult time to go through but you will... go through it and you do have several things going for you... you are able to focus your attention on those things that you do have and the realization that this time is but temporal. Keep the Faith... God will bring you through this.Love in Christ, Bob <>< |
