We all gladly think of our families and friends at this time of the year.
We give thanks for those that share in health and happiness.
But, it is also a time of reflection for those who are no longer with us.
We miss them, greatly.
Silently.
Longingly.
While we celebrate the Holidays
always know that there are those who are not able to find the joy
in the season.
While it may be very true that life goes on, as indeed it does.
It also pauses.
So for anyone who is missing a piece of their hearts,
as I am.
Pause.
Abby
Gracie
Gracie as I always remember.
Even as I type this in the exact same spot of this photo.
Gracie would always get into the window sill.
Always keep me company.
I guess she still does.
Except my eyes cannot see her.
Now only with my Heart.
Gracie with me at the computer
It was our ritual.
I can picture you, like a photograph
I can see your smile
I can hear your laugh
No I don't have to look back
I remember you
When I'm all alone
You're all around
I tell you things, yeah I talk out loud
Ever since you left the ground
I remember you
You can ask the sun
You can ask the moon
Every day that goes by
I remember you
And even when
I close my eyes
Like a dream, you come back to life
I can't escape your love, your light
I remember you
You can ask the sun
You can ask the moon, yeah
Every day that goes by
I remember you
And I know some day
Only God knows when
I'll touch your face
And I'll breathe again...
And life goes on, so until then
I remember you
Yeah, I remember you
Mmmmmmm
Every day that goes by
Oooooh
I remember you
****
We hope that you have a loved filled holiday
ReplyDeleteNever forgotten, sweet girls.

They are always with us, and they'll always be in the most important place... your heart. Big hugs and purrs for a merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThe ones who have gone before are never more than a moment away - Max a black mancat loved me so much - he used to stand on me and look into my face - it was as if he was memorising every detail of it so he wouldn't forget it. He passed too young and I think he knew he would.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

Meowy Cat's Mess from all of us! The many cats who inspired my first artwork are all gone, but sometimes I feel one of them brush my ankles or head butt my elbow. I don't look. They are always there for us, and don't mind sharing us with newer felines.
ReplyDeletePeace and love to you. We hope you had a wonderful Christmas, dear friends.
ReplyDeleteMerry Merry CATmas with lot´s of (((purrs)))

That was so lovely, Debra. The holidays can be very hard as we remember those who are no longer with us. But having that ability to remember is a blessing. As you said, you "see" with your heart! Meowy Christmas! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo and Mom Janet
ReplyDeleteMay this holiday time bring you peace, warm memories and (we know a bit bittersweet) moments to reflect....
ReplyDeleteChristmas is about life, and how - and why - it will be eternal. You will see them again.
