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!
