This Christmas when images of past holidays with departed loved ones flash into my mind, I am trying to smile and be thankful for the memories without missing the times we were deprived of.

The memories are so precious. They are a gift. Undeserved and greater than I could have imagined. I am so grateful for the time I had, the love we shared and the beautiful memories we made. I revel in the joy of those memories. Though I long for just a little more time, just one more smile, one more moment, another memory, I am so grateful for the time we had, how could I ask for more?
