One Third of My Light Is Gone

"...And the fourth angel sounded the trumpet, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars, so that the third part of them was darkened. And the day did not shine for a third part of it,, and the night in like manner." --Rev. 8:12

I have three sons. One of them is in the spirit world. On October 26, 2009, one third of the light in my life went out forever.

Christmas?

It really does not seem like Christmas this year. This is December 22. Maris would have been home for 5 days by now.

I never stop thinking about him. He is the first thing I think about every morning and the last thing I think about every night.

It is a beautiful winter wonderland out there this morning...but all I can think about is how Maris would have enjoyed this weather.

This has been a rough Christmas this year without Maris. There is a void in our lives that cannot be filled. It can only be tempered through time. I miss him so much. We got all his belongings on 12/30/09 and are still going through it all. It is difficult to know that I will never be able to talk to him again in this world. I loved Maris. I hope he knew how much.
