This year will be the first Christmas without my Mom, and leading to this day, my heart has been feeling sad.

But I’m not alone. Unfortunately, it is a fact of life that everyone goes through, we will lose the people we love, and we will look forward to the day we can be with them again.

What is Christmas this year?

Christmas is a story of a new beginning, the birth of Jesus Christ, and a love story that begins through his birth.

And that is the message I want to keep this year, that it is a new beginning not of life without Mom, but to continue living.

Humanity has been through a lot, but it has survived. I have been through a lot, and I have survived to this day.

My Mom has been through a lot, and she survived. While she was here, Mom loved Christmas. It was a day when she could freely express her love for us.

That is how I want to remember Christmas, and that is how I can best honor Mom, enjoy today, eat, and be grateful that I made it through another Christmas.

A Merry Christmas To All.
