Some Christmas’s ago My mother passed on

Since them my favorite holiday of the year

has changed some. I am still happy and enjoy

the taste and smell and colors of Christmas

but the texture has changed.

Now I feel the harsh reality of the loss of my mother.

Now I feel the empty space she has left behind her.

I feel the cold void that her personality and attitude

left after her passing.  Nothing can replace that.

I love christmas regardless but I miss my mother

terribly.  Today as I bask on my memories I hurt and

find solace in the many memories and special

moments. She was not perfect…. She was just Mom.

Merry Christmas   Feliz Navidad.
