The empty place setting....

[luv2wahm]

First and foremost, I wish each and everyone a safe and joyous holiday.

I, also, know that holidays can be painful when someone you love is no longer with you at the holidays. Their absence can seem so great. As the family gathers around the table, the empty space is magnified x1000.

For those who are facing that empty place, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Whether your loss is recent or happened long ago, I hope the day allows for a moment of peace and maybe even a smile or two.

Thanks for this - It is a lil' hard this fall as we have had two deaths within the last 3 months - Both my SO and I lost our best friends this year.

 

And then of course, there are the ones that have gone on before them.

Have a blessed day and Holiday season.

This Thanksgiving is really hard for me because it is the first one without my Grandma. She passed away in February, and we couldn't go home for the holidays this year, so I don't have any family outside of my son and husband. Thank you for the thoughts.
