When I was a child, all my Christmases were merry.
I was very blessed.
Now my life is more complex, and this Christmas will be tinged with melancholy and sadness,
But I am still blessed.
I dedicate this post to those out there with hearts heavier than their packages this year,
To the walking wounded who will smile and laugh in spite of their darkness,
And to those who will not smile or laugh, but perhaps weep and be still.
You are not forgotten.
These days will pass, I pray,
As I whole-heartedly welcome a new year, And wish you peace and comfort and joy.

Nicely said. One of my friends is in a very dark place this year, and it's my prayer that I can be a comfort to her. I wish you and yours a blessed Christmas.
I know there are many, many people with heavy hearts this Christmas. I pray that they feel some measure of peace this Christmas.
I pray that for you, too, my friend.

I've had all kinds of Christmases.. some years easier than others. I do sometimes have trouble rolling with the changes, as those too come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors, don't they... But I wish you the best in the days ahead and in everything you do, and may God comfort you whenever you need Him! ((hugs)) ~tina
I pray that you have a blessed and peaceful Holdiay.

We all miss our loved ones at this time of the year. My mother and dad both died in 1999 five weeks apart. They loved Christmas and every year at this time I get an empty feeling inside that doesn't go away until the new year. Praise God for New Years.
Good post :-)
I hope you and your family have a Wonderful Christmas :-)
God Bless You, ~Ron

Merry Chriatmas and a happy new year. Love your site, I like to read, to feel good about, love your writting, Ileana
Thank you. I feel this heavy Heartedness this year.
Thank you for thinking of others that carry this feeling around in a season of love,light,and incessant happiness.
Be as kind to yourself as you would be to another in your shoes this year. Many of us share, or have shared heavy hearted holidays. If we could each take a bit of it for you, we would. There are no magic words or deeds to change things right now, but things will improve. Hug the loved ones nearby and know that your cyber friends send virtual hugs and best wishes to you and yours.
I pray for peace for you this season. Each year brings so many ups and downs for all of us. However it seems especially hard at this time of year for those who live with sadness. Know that blogland holds many friends who wish only good for you in the coming year. Take care, Pam
Thinking of you and sending wishes for a happier, easier and better year ahead.
