Christmas Without You



I'm sure there are countless songs about Christmases without someone you love.  I hate every single one of them.

Today was weird.  It was sad.  It was different.  You'll be happy to know that we made it though.  Sophie and Joey had great presents.  Joey was notably impressed with his presents.  Sophie marvelled at the magic and wonder of the day and rolled around in her presents.  The grandmas spent the afternoon eating and playing games.  It was fine. 

No.  It wasn't fine.  It was quiet and it was sad.  It wasn't the same without you.  In so many ways it felt like it was less.  Less than what it always is.  Less than what it should be.  Just....less.

Despite the sadness we know that we are blessed.  Blessed to have each other.  Blessed to have a God that is in love with us.  Blessed to have your memory to make us laugh and sometimes on days like today, to make us cry.
