This Advent calendar post is one of the hardest for me.
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of my grandparents and the
holidays are even harder. These are the times when the family comes together to
celebrate so many wonderful things, love, memories, accomplishments and a time
to reflect on the past. There is always a special toast in honor of them, a
special ornament that we hang on the tree to remember them and a special prayer
that we say. It wouldn’t be out of the
ordinary that during the time we are preparing a meal, eating or opening
presents to hear us reminiscing about them. Something that they might have
said, done or what they might be thinking at this time. Only to be followed by a
laugh and maybe a tear or two of joy.
Physically they
might not be here with us now but their spirit, their love and their memories
are with us always. When we take a moment to look in the mirror, at the
decorations, even some of the baked dishes on the table or even look at the
smiling faces of our children, they are there smiling back at us. We love you.
