almost christmas eve wishes from a christmas eve past

 

Christmas 2020: I made this video comprising pics of mom and me during the festive season at her big red brick house on the hill in 2008. I was still living in Dubai at the time.

As I write this, it’s Christmas 2020. Mom died in August 2016. Now I’m living in Almonte, Ontario, where we are about to go into another lockdown to try to stop the spread of COVID-19. There’s not much snow on the ground, and the forecast is calling for above zero temperatures on Christmas Eve.

I miss my mom. I miss the fireplaces in her big red brick house on the hill. I miss the feeling I get when I’m with people who love me and whom I love. There’s lots of other stuff I miss. But I’m trying my best to do what Mom taught me to do: be thankful, keep going, and celebrate everything worth celebrating no matter how small and insignificant it may seem at the time.

Merry Christmas from my angel mom and me and thanks to Celine Dion for the tune <3
