A Christmas Poem

Monday, December 23, 2013

As we light these four candles in honor of you we light one for our grief..one for our courage..one for our memories..and one for our love.

This candle is for grief; the pain of losing you was intense. It reminds us of the depth of our love for you.

This candle is for courage; to confront our sorrow..to comfort each other..to change our lives.

This light is in your memory; the times we laughed..the times we cried..the times we were angry with each other..the silly things you did..the joy that you gave us. This light is for the light of love.

As we enter this holiday season day by day 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.
