Christmas thoughts

Days are just days, they have names like Monday, Tuesday and so on. Some days have a more symbolic meaning, like Christmas Eve.

So here I am. With Alissia, my youngest daughter. Alexandra, the eldest will spend the evening with her boyfriend. She has found love and I am so happy for her.

Yet I feel alone. There is nobody to share my heart with, warmth and love on this or other special days.

For some special reason one seems to feel more lonely during these days. Strange. But so true.

Then I think, well, maybe next year things will be different.

In my thoughts I am now with a dear friend who is sitting next to her mother’s bed in a hospital. Keeping her company in her last moments, it’s just a matter of hours before the inevitable last goodbye.

So don’t forget, my friends, while spending this evening with our loved ones, there are people who are grieving, loosing somebody close, there is poverty and war.

Let’s spend a moment and cherish these less fortunate in our hearts.

Merry Christmas.

PS. She passed away at 21:40 or so. A grand old lady. She will stay alive in my heart.
