Holiday Season

 Thanksgiving has come and gone and I think this year has hit me harder than past years. I was full of emotion and emptiness.I did get through it and tried to make the best of the situation and though I am deeply grateful for my blessings, It doesn't ease the pain of losing my husband and memories just flow through me of  having that perfect day with him and the excitement of cooking together and getting ready together. I miss it. And now that I have survived another Thanksgiving I will now go on and conquer the Christmas season and the New Year that is to come. Every moment is hard. Especially dealing with the memories and watching all the happy families share in their joy with their loved ones, and making such special memories with their husbands and other kids wrapping their arms around their dads and having that special man in their lives.It just doesn't seem fair. But I know God has a plan for us widows and that I am not alone in these feelings. I have recently met some amazing widows who have the same emotions and feelings that I am going through. They have been such an amazing support system and blessing in my widowhood journey. So as we go on this holiday season let us rejoice in the life we were given and for the life of our Lord Jesus Christ.
