Christmas in Heaven

I found this little poem today, so I thought I would share it here....

'Tis Christmas in Heaven 
What a beautiful sight! 
It's my first one here; 
Everything is all right. 


The crib is adorned 
With the brilliance of stars, 
Wisemen have come 
From Venus and Mars. 


I've met all our dear ones 
Who preceded us here; 
The reunion was lovely, 
An event full of cheer. 


And tonight we'll all gather, 
In reverence we'll kneel, 
For the Babe in the cradle 
Up in Heaven is Real. 


I think of my family 
that I left behind 
And I pray that your Christmas 
Is as blessed as mine 


Please shed no more tears, 
For my soul is at rest, 
Just love one another; 
Live life to its best. 


Yes, It's Christmas In Heaven, 
So I've heard them say, 
Yet, Christmas In Heaven 
Happens every day.

What My Thanksgiving Was And Should Have Been

As thanksgiving approaches, I can't help but to think about thanksgiving last year. My son was very sick and in the hospital. He needed to get surgery on his stomach, and came really close to death. I also can't help to think about what should be this thanksgiving. This thanksgiving I should have been 20 weeks pregnant, but I'm not. We lost our baby at the end of August. I can't help but to remember my plan of finding out the week of thanksgiving whether we were having a boy or a girl, and telling everyone at thanksgiving dinner. It was "gonna be awesome". Instead, I am still mourning the loss of our little one. It funny how you can make a lifetime of plans for someone who is still in the womb, only a few weeks old...
