Merry Christmas

I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I heard this song on the radio shortly after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings and it made me cry. I thought of all the parents who won't have their babies with them this Christmas. I can't begin to imagine the pain of losing a child in such a horrific way. My heart goes out to each and every one of the families suffering from this tragedy. 

I wish you peace and comfort during this difficult time and I pray for you every day. Your loved ones are in Heaven but their spirit will live inside you forever. 

Merry Christmas.
