Spiritually

My body will be spending Christmas alone. My mind will have company. For those who I love who reside in heaven. Will be with me Spiritually.

I am experiencing something like you, John. My lovely wife and I had 60 years together and in June she went to 'sleep in Jesus' as our pastor quoted from the Bible. Thinking of you. It's not an easy time. John.

John, your appreciation for what you've experienced and how you feel about it makes a strong impression. I am thinking about you as I am sure are many others. At least our memories stay with us and those of us who are thoughtful about life can savor them.

Such a lovely and heartfelt thought John. They will be with you and it is a special time to think of them all, and spend the quiet time on Christmas to think of our Lord for he is with them and he is with you. Wishing you love during Christmas and know that we are all here as a family for each other and know we my wife and I will be thinking of you during Christmas sharing a prayer of peace and comfort for you on that Special day. God bless you my friend.

- No one should be alone at Christmas, John - To be honest... I don't like Christmas... it brings longing for what you've lost - hugs

Depressing. This will be my 4th Christmas without my mom as she passed away in January of 2020, because cancer. And I personally think because the Lord knew that the social butterfly, she was would not have survived the Covid lockdowns. That said I think it would be very hard to spend Christmas alone.
