Christmas came quietly this year. The tree was up the lights were on, and the world kept celebrating. But you did not come with it.
I kept expecting your precence in the small moments, the laugh during dinner, the warmth beside me, the comfort 5I used to take for granted. Instead there was only space. People say Christmas is about joy, but noone talks about how heavy it feels when someone you loved is no longer part of it.
I tried to hold it together, tried to focus on grattitude, but my heart kept wondering back to you. This Christmas did not break me, but it reminded me of what is missing and how much I still feel it ❤️
