Tis the season of family gatherings
smells of baked goods all around
Laughter throughout every child
And drizzles of snow on the ground

The holiday season has come again
though faster than we had prepared
With artificial smiles we hide the pain
as memories of you are shared

The family photo is being taken
though this one is not complete
The greatest child we've ever known
has left an empty seat

The facade becomes more difficult,
each passing day more blue
It's just too soon to enjoy this time...
Still numb from the loss of you

You may not be here to open a gift
or help us light the tree,
But in our hearts is a permanent place
We know you'll always be

We were blessed for the times we had
but we still wish you were here
We send our love and hope you have
A Merry Christmas in heaven this year!!!!

XOXO to ^^Cory Duane^^ 3/11/02-7/28/07

ah yes, how does one really move forward after such a loss?  I still find it difficult, at best, to smile with memories when it hurts so bad to know I can no longer reach out to them on any level...

I enjoyed your sentiments very much.

Ida, I'm always here. Just not as often as I'd like. Good to hear from you and think of you and your angel often as well. Hope all is well with you. Happy Holidays!!
