To Our Angels
Holidays are spent with the special people in your life! People you can hug and kiss, laugh and cry, create and continue traditions with.
But we all have someone special who has passed away and we wish we could send them a Christmas card and share this time with them. I know I have!
If you could write your loved one a letter for Santa to deliver, what would it say?
Here's mine:
Kyra Jade (My daughter)

Dear Kyra Jade (forever 18 days old),
I hope you are proud of me so far! I have kept my promise to you thus far and will continue to keep that promise! I have graduated with my Master's degree and am pursuing my dream career. It isn't easy, and I won't lie, I am so scared to fail. There are still days I wish I was with you than on earth. But i'll join you soon enough! I have applied to a bunch of reality shows to chase that adventure. Daddy and I love each other so much and we are so strong together. We started a new Christmas tradition in the new home we bought. We wish you could be here to join in on building our oreo cookie christmas house. Momy and daddy love you so much and miss you! Merry Christmas baby girl!
Love,
Your momma!
Daddy (forever 62 years old)

Dear daddy,
I miss you so much! I wish you were here! You left this world way too soon! It's sad how you left this earth and you didn't get to see me graduate with my master's degree... BUT I DID IT!!! I know you had your doubts that I would even return to college when I dropped out in 2006, but those words never left my head. I knew I would prove you wrong. I did, but I couldn't reserve a seat for you because you grew in your angel wings as was called away from this earth. I hope you are looking down on me and are proud of me. I worked hard to get where I am and hubby and I bought a house. We wish you could come and enjoy this home with us, the street name is your nickname you had when you were younger, and your motorcycle license, Spitz. I know you helped us get this home! So thank you. Keep watching over me and my family! I love you so much daddy!
Until we meet again,
Your little girl!
I know writing a letter to your loved one who is no longer on earth can be a touchy thing, so if you do or don't share, just know you aren't alone. We should never forget those who left this earth who we cherish and loved so much! And while you may not see them, they are there with you in your heart! It's definitely hard to think about, at least for me, without shedding some tears, but whether you cry or not, you are strong!!!!
To everyone who shares their loved one in heaven's Christmas card in this post, thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
