Christmas without you, will never be the same.

Without you here, Christmas is not as happy. You always had a way of making Christmas special.

Now on Christmas, there is no one to have to wake up during Christmas Eve mass. You would always fall asleep because you said, “it was a sign of a clear conscience”.

There is no one to wake up super early on Christmas morning. Every morning I would go in and wake you up so that we could open up our stockings together. Seeing all of our stockings hanging up without yours up is absolutely heartbreaking.

Now when we eat Christmas dinner, there is an empty space.

Not only is there an empty space at the dinner table, but an empty space in our hearts.

When you left us, you took a piece of all of us with you.

There is now no one to cuddle with on the couch after dinner when our bellies are all full. Without you falling asleep on the couch after dinner, it is too quiet.

You used to fill the room up with your snores and now there is just silence.

With us missing the sounds of your snores, we are also missing all of the memories.

You are not here to see us open our presents and the big eyes of all the young kids, light up.

You are missing from all of the new memories we are making.

Even though we may smile and laugh at the new memories being made, we all know that Christmas will never be the same.

Without hearing you laugh so hard that your teeth fall out, our laughs never be as genuine and hearty.

Missing you sleep on the couch after an early morning of opening Christmas presents means that a part of Christmas is missing.

Christmas is all about being with those you love and without you there is a part of Christmas missing.

Christmas is definitely one of the times where we miss you the most...so much, that it hurts.

Christmas with the family is just not the same anymore. You were the glue that held this entire family together.

Without you here, we are all slowing drifting apart.

Without you here, Christmas is not a happy time.

Sure we may all smile, laugh and make more memories, but they are all made without you here.

It will definitely be a blue Christmas every year, without you here celebrating with all of us.

Merry Christmas in Heaven.
