This resonated with me, as it is the first Christmas I will spend without my husband, who died earlier this year. However, those of us who have children and grandchildren are the lucky ones, some people are left all on their own with just their memories. Best wishes, Ann.

I'm sure a lot of us can relate to this poem. We all have moments when the words just won't flow. Well done putting it into a poem. Best wishes, Ann

Hi Cynthia, there's no greater love, than a mothers love, and vice versa.

Yes, Saying Goodbye to My Brother is a poem I wrote to deal with the loss of my youngest brother Tony he was a humble protective brother. Helpful to all who were in his life. His funeral was such a great tribute to him. knowing he was called home with his Higher Power too early, but knowing God has our life paths set for all individual's but still we wonder why Tony. Me and my brother were two years' apart. Growing up I called us the brady bunch, because we came from a family of 13 children 6 boys and 7 girls. Growing up it was the six youngest that were always together. Singing playing going to school together movies everything even fighting. Most of all always taking care of each other. i know he will always be with me in spirit and memories will forever be with me all the while wishing Tony was still here physically.

Well whatever it is, I really like it. I've just been reading your bio. Wow! Very impressive. I'll go and visit your website next! I'm afraid I haven't got round to a website yet... Just a few poems on Family Friends Poetms and a few more published by Indigo Dreams. You make me realize I should make more effort.

Very best wishes
Ann

I was very touched by this story, because it brought back my Christmas memories. I come from a family of 13 children I'm next to the youngest, but Christmas was the happiest day for all of us. Decorating the house putting up the tree. Went to bed early getting up in the morning early to get our gifts Santa had left for us. Checking to see if Santa had ate the cookies and drink the milk we left out before going to bed. Singing Christmas Carols. To this day I always feel and believe that every child should be happy on Christmas Day. I love Christmas.

I'm glad you enjoyed the poem and thanks very much for your kind words. It was written for children originally, but I didn't think it was sufficiently child-like. Not quite an adult poem either. I suppose it's a hybrid.

Best wishes,
Mary

Dear Brother John, I was touched by your story. My husband passed two days before Christmas last year, and needless to say I'm trying my best to joyful during this time. He loved the Lord so I picture him rejoicing, and I will try to honor him by not grieving, but celebrating the birth of our Savior. My children have been awesome in their support for me, but my life will never be the same. So I'll send my hugs and kisses on the wings of angels to deliver to him.
