I've known this day was coming, and yet some how is snuck up on me still. I was listening to Christmas songs this afternoon (yes, I know, a little early), when I stumbled across a favorite song with a new meaning.
Selections from "You would have loved this" by Cori Connors
The greenery is laid across the mantel
And ornaments are hanging on the tree.
And cradled in the windowsill's a candle
A beacon in the night to call you back to me.
You would have loved this, you always loved this,
I know you loved this time of year.
And though I understand one day again I'll see you
I long to touch your hand, hear your voice, feel you.
You would have loved this, you always loved this,
Oh how you loved.
I'm so sad that what should have been our first Christmas together, is our first Christmas apart. I hope you know that as we sing songs and give gifts and remember the birth of our Savior, that you are in our thoughts always. And because of a baby born so long ago in Bethlehem, I get to see you and hold you again.
