The first Christmas without my mom someone sent me this poem and ornament and it gave me a little comfort, hope it gives some a little comfort.

Merry Christmas From Heaven

I still hear the songs

I still see the lights

I still feel you love on

Cold wintery nights

I still share your hopes

and all your cares

I'll even remind you

to please say your prayers

I just want to tell you

you still make me proud

you stand head and shoulders

above all the crowd

Keep trying each moment

to stay in his grace

I came here before you

To help set your place

You don't have to be

perfect all the time

He forgives you the slip

If you continue the climb

To my family and friends

please be thankful today

I am still close beside you

In a new special way

I love you all dearly

now don't shed a tear

cause I'm spending my

Christmas with Jesus this year!

Addie replied to Kali's discussion It was not supposed to be like this in the group Being the Other Woman/Other Man
"Kali I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal. Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection.
