All I want for Christmas...is YOU

I was engulfed by sadness today. I couldn't control my tears from flowing, then I heard myself sobbing. I am sad because you are away and for the first time since meeting you, we are spending christmas away from each other. I wouldn't forget ths christmas, nor the christmases of the coming years. I know in my heart that no matter how I try to smile and laugh, a part of me is silently crying.

Merry Christmas dad. You may not be physically present, but in our heart, you never left.
