My First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below ,
With tiny lights like heavens stars reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please, wipe away the tear,
For I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
But the sound of music can't compare with the Christmas Choir up here.
I have no words to tell you the Joy their voices bring,
For it is is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart,
But I am not far away, we really aren't apart.

So be happy for me dear ones, you know I hold you dear, and be glad,
That I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year,
I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above,
I send you each a memory of my undying love,
After all, Love is a gift more precious than gold,
It always was most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do,
For I can't count His blessings that He has for each of you,
Do have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear,
Remember, I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

When I read this it just broke my heart into a thousand pieces, it must get easier with each passing day as so many people say....be strong...keep the faith....but it is very hard and it does not get easier at all. You just do what is expected of you, you get up, you go to work, you see to the kids, you go to the supermarket, it's just life..you live it but you know at the end of the day when you go to bed, you will never see that loving face again....never....and yet you have to carry on, to be strong for the sake of the family. I pray to God for strength, for acceptance and for David to come to me in my dreams, to tell me he is ok, just one time. I pray to my dearest brother for peace of mind, peace of heart and for just a smile to tell me something, anything...I love you David with all my heart and I wish I told you that, so many things I wish I had said to you, but I know you would have brushed them aside. You were always in a rush, always helping someone or other, that's just your way. Your kindness made people reach out to you always....sigh...

Such a lovely passage... made me shed tears. Guess i simply just forgot or still hadn't quite accepted that Father David has gone to a better place indeed.
