A beautiful poem for those who've lost a loved one this year...

I wish I could have sent that last year to Mike for his first Christmas w/out his dad..

Whatever your spiritual affiliation is..that's a beautiful, touching poem. The holidays are torture for me without my parents, esp. my mom. I'm a born shopper, but can barely make it into a mall at this time of year. Mom was my "let's go to the beauty parlor, have lunch, shop til we drop" buddy. I know she's "with" me all the time, but it doesn't make me feel any better.
