They aren't ghosts of Christmas past or spirits back to haunt me. They are my best memories, tucked away and waiting to be called. They are my family members who taught me life and helped me grow. They are my grandparents, parents, nephews, and brother-in-law. They are my sister, best friend, and many close to me. They are my first love and my last. And those who left me way too soon. Many have a difficult time around the holidays, missing those who have gone before us. Still, if you dig deep into your heart and think about all the wonderful times you spent together and all the memories you made, I promise you will find the joy you thought would be gone forever. Just close your eyes and see them together, celebrating, thinking about you and all the love you shared all those years. Raise a glass to them watching over you as you continue your journey, which will one day bring you together to continue where time was cut short, but memories live on forever.
Happy holidays in heaven to our loved ones singing their favorite Christmas songs as we chime in because they are our favorites, too.
