As the Holidays fastly approach I sit here thinking of all those that we have loved and lost wondering what life would be like if they were here, if they are looking down on us, protecting us from some evil force or even ourselves for that matter.

Wondering why life has chosen to take some at such a young age, yet let others life forever it seems. No I don't know the answers to all these questions but in my beliefs I believe there is a reason for everything just because I do not know the reason has no bearing on my beliefs.

Remember the holidays are for a time of sharing and celebrating.....so this holiday season celebrate life with those you love.....remember those that have left us behind..........remember during this busy time to have compassion for those that need it......remember a simple gesture of a smile or a hello could brighten someone's day or even life.

Well put!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well said, Patti! Holidays are difficult without my Nana here with us. Even though its been a few years that she passed, we still wish she was here telling her stories and laughing out loud. I know I am thankful my son lived through his ordeal 2 weeks ago, I'd be lost without him here!
