Christmas: You gave me My Greatest Gift. You took away my greatest gift.

Christmas, ah, Christmas. You gave me My Greatest Gift, Jesus. On Christmas morn, My Best Friend, My Light, My Life, was born.

On that same precious day, o, beloved Christmas Day, you took my friend,  my mom, my light, my life, away.

Christmas, since 2016, I welcome you, I dread you coming, hope your stay is brief, pray you never leave.

Christmas, ah, Christmas, your cheerful voice lies. The gifts you bring, the songs you sing, o, Christmas, makes me want to sing along. I lie, to my heart, and say it’s okay she is gone. I tell my heart truth and say she had to go, she did not abandon you.

So, Christmas, as you draw nigh, forget not my greatest wish, that you tell my greatest gift, how very much I love her. How very much I love Him.

I look forward, now, dear Christmas, to your coming. Not, for the gifts you may bring. But, because of His Birth, which is the whole point of this thing.

HIS, Day. Now, HER day. Christmas, God gave you such AWESOME gifts on your day:

My, Bestie.

My, mom.

My friends.

Rest in peace, mom. As, I LIVE now, in peace. Loving you another way. I love you, mom. I hold your love, in my heart.

grateful for Christmas,

Cassandra

Note: For all who have lost a mom, a dad, a sibling, a significant other, a job held dear, something priceless, something precious, KNOW that you WILL be okay. Yes, the hurt hurts. Yet, you shall ALWAYS have the precious memories built by the love you shared with who or what you lost. In this, you can know you haven’t really lost. For, you have loved. You were loved. You can love still.
