The happiest yet saddest day

I am just about to go with Mum to the family meal, and we will watch the children be so excited with their presents and their smiles will fill the room with such joy.
Yet, it is incredibly hard to get ready…..something is missing inside, the person I love just isn’t going to be there. Daft as it sounds I spoke to him last night before trying to get to sleep and asked for strength to get through the say…..as I looked at the photo, I could hear him say
”Today is not about you or me, it is a day for the children. Make sure you make their Christmas special, as for me well I will be with you deep in your heart”
And that is true, wherever you are try today to make the day special for others….today of all days is not about you but about the wonder of life and giving/sharing with others..
