The holidays are filled with laughter, joy and quality time with family and friends. It's the time of year that you're 'supposed' to look forward to ALL year. However, this year, as I scan the landscape of this painful year. I see the struggle, pain, hardship, grief, and loss that many have faced. Today I became overwhelmed with sadness as I reflected on the loss that my new family has experienced in 2020. I got married in 2019 to my wonderful husband, Ken. We were blessed to have his father attend our wedding even though his struggle with cancer was growing. In April, my father-in-law left us to be with Christ and left an enormous hole in the hearts of each one of us.
As I sat with my sadness today, I realized that the tag I am wearing is actually 'yearning'. I was yearning to call my father-in-law and ask him how he's feeling, ask him about what he's had to eat today and see if he's jumped on his favorite mower. As the holidays approach, the 'yearning' is growing and there is sadness that he won't be here with us to celebrate Christmas. We can't always remove tags that are painful and uncomfortable. You would never remove the yearning you have for a love one lost. If you are aching for someone special today, you're not alone.
