In particular Christmas fashion I'm attempting to practice kindness especially with those who lost that sentiment a long time ago. I'm attempting to accept differences and move past the fact that there are some people in my life who are there by force rather than by choice. I'm trying to reconcile that with the two empty chairs at our table, missing the people I have loved the most. But more importantly I'm realizing that regardless of the loss and pain my family and I have endured, we are, and I am blessed.
I was blessed with two beautiful souls who loved me with all their hearts, I am blessed with my grandmother, an 86 year old Irish immigrant who's spirit and spunk is never ending and who's love knows no bounds, I am blessed with an Aunt and Uncle who wake up and face the world with such pain on their shoulders but so much more love in their hearts, I am blessed to have a sister who's compassion is endless, and I am blessed with a fierce mother who fights not only her battles but the challenges of others with peace, kindness, and love.
I am blessed with true friendship, with support and encouragement, with belief and inspiration, and with love. And with all of that who could ask for more.
Not everyone has all they could ask for but everyone deserves a little love, a little kindness, a little compassion, and a little Christmas spirit.
Merry Christmas! ox
