I'm sitting here wondering what to say to that. Do I express my condolences, talking about loss and first Christmases without certain people in our lives? Do I talk about time and how it separates us from siblings and family and how we wish that we could turn people from their paths? Do I give examples of my own loss and how I coped (or didn't) at Christmas?
In the end, all I can say is I understand, being a sister to 5 others myself, and having suffered some major losses. And I can offer this: I wish you and yours the merriest Christmas you can have.
Lots of love, Annette/Plainsdancer/lots of others.
Annette, That was a very, very nice reply. Thank you. It means a lot to me. For what it's worth, I'm sorry you've had to endure any loss that would be similar in any way.
This sill still be a merry Christmas. A touch more sad given that there has been a loss, but I am choosing to revel in the joys of Christ and the closeness of my family that is still on this earth with me.
Thank you so much for the kind wishes and the thoughtful reply. Merry Christmas to you and Benja and your family as well.
