Christmas without You
Christmas without you here with me,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
One so precious, who has your name,.
An Angel forever watching over me,
At Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
Inside my heart, you are so very near.
There is no special present for you,
Wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
All the love you can still feel from me.
No, Christmas time without you here,
Could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
And the memories and love will remain.
Sending my love to you all

Four Candles
The first candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense.
It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.
This second candle represents our courage.
To confront our sorrow,
To comfort each other,
To change our lives.
This third candle we light in your memory.
For the times we laughed,
The times we cried,
The times we were angry with each other,
The silly things you did,
The caring and joy you gave us.
This fourth candle we light for our love.
We light this candle that your light will always shine.
As we enter this holiday season and share this night of remembrance
with our family and friends.
We cherish the special place in our hearts
that will always be reserved for you.
We thank you for the gift
your living brought to each of us.
We love you.
We remember you.
