As I'm sitting at Starbucks this morning, looking at my surroundings, it hit me that the holiday season is here. Winter has now hit the Central Coast. It's actually COLD here. LOL! I know that you understand what I'm saying.
It also hit me that during this holiday, there are a few people that we will be missing. Mainly, our children. We miss our kids everyday, but during the holiday is when families get together, so much food is prepared, everybody goes shopping for those blockbuster savings. For us, there will always be 2 little kids missing and also one very special lady. Our dearest friend Dawn Hedrick. Grama D. If I miss her, what more her family.
The holidays always brings out the sadness in those we miss because we wish they can be here to enjoy it as much as we do. Thanksgiving and Black Friday. New Years Eve and day. Memories of past holidays always comes to mind. The laughter, the drama. It's even tougher when birthdays come around. I allow the sadness to come because in time it shall pass. There's always that wonder though, of how things could've, should've, would've been. All I can do is feel it.
To those of my friends and family that are missing loved ones this Holiday Season, no words can be described how we feel. Feel what you feel, cry, laugh, etc. Remember. Live in the present, look to the future. Hold them all dear in our hearts with a lot of love. Their memories live on forever through all of us.
