Little sweetheart, it’s Christmas Week - the week leading up to the holidays which this year falls on a Saturday. Christmas Day actually is, like the song says, the first day of Christmas - we’ve been in Advent all this time prior, since December 1- and I like hanging on to and observing these twelve days and nights right up to Epiphany. Often, I make a last batch of Christmas cookies on Epiphany!
I can’t help but think of you so deeply this week, little sweetheart, and how much you loved Christmas. One of the first things you said to me was how you wanted to spend Christmases together. It’s hard not to mourn our not having had more of them but I think I treasure even these ones alone now all the more because I had even one with you.
You fill my heart with light, with love, and if I quiet myself, find ways to be kind, to be good, I will find you there, again and again, closer, always, than I can even imagine.
Merry Christmas, little sweetheart.
