First Christmas

First Christmas

It was the first Christmas without you..
Your presence I dearly miss..
Though not mentioned you were on my mind..
Nanna did you hear my Christmas wish?

I wished that you were with us..
I wished not to see Mum cry..
I wished you stayed a bit longer..
I wished that you didn't die.

I hope you were there in spirit..
If only you could give me a sign..
Just to let me know your okay..
To give me comfort and peace of mind.

Maybe I'm being a little selfish..
You were ready to go in July..
It's hard letting go knowing it's forever..
It's never easy saying goodbye.

Your always in my thoughts Nan..
Though your gone, we are never apart..
You will always live inside me..
You will never leave my heart.

Awe...such a loving tribute. 
 
I lost my mom in May; this was the first Christmas without her. She was born on Christmas. My father is quite ill. It was a bitter sweet holiday season around my house. Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I can hear my mother whisper to me in my ear: "Just keep going, no matter what job, what house, or what circumstance, just keep going. 

Keep writing.

Katina your Christmas day must have been very emotional.  My Nan passed away 3 days before her 90th birthday and even though she had passed we went ahead with her birthday party as planned.  It was beautiful but hard also.  Warm regards xxx
