Thank you, December

November has been a terrible month for me. And I haven't quite figured out why... Was it that the anxiety and anticipation of October wasn't as bad as I thought it would be? And that in all actuality I enjoyed finding ways to honor my little girl. So, maybe November was kind of a let down in a lot of ways? No one really wanted to talk about plans that would be made for Kennedy or even mention her name at all. We had passed October... It was time to move on. Maybe? Or maybe the doom and gloom of cold weather hit and the overwhelming sense of glee and happiness from others over the holidays hit? I really don't know...but I do know that I can't wait to turn the calendar to the next month. Although I anticipate the busy-ness of this month and the sadness from missing my little girl during the holidays, I am willing to accept the change of the month in hopes that it will be a better one. Somethings gotta give, right?

So, here's to you, December. The magical month of many holidays, my birthday and beautiful snowy weather. May this month bring more happy times and smiles to last into next year. Wishing this for you all this month, even though I know it may seem to be quite difficult. Hoping you find something that makes your heart glow again. Maybe it will the 25 days of giveaways or the holiday gift exchange? Maybe it will be a friendly comment or card from a fellow BLM who understands what you're going through. Maybe it will be a heartfelt text from a long-lost friend that just wants to show you that he/she cares? Whatever it may be...I hope it comes to each of you at least once during this month. We all deserve a break, why not make it during the holiday season? Hugs and love.

Dearest Kennedy,

Mommy is very much looking forward to a change of pace this holiday season. A change of heart...where I feel some comfort knowing I'm doing things for me and in honor of you at all times. I hope you like your new little things that I put out for you at Roselawn. Can't wait to add more as the month goes on. Hoping the snow doesn't prevent that.... I am so curious of what Heaven is like this time of year. Wondering if you're wearing beautiful red dresses with bows in your curly hair (I'm almost positive it would be curly). Thank you for keeping watch over me and all the people I love. I can feel your presence with me, sweet girl. Keep smiling, little chickadee, and know that I always love you. Happy December, KK.

Love you,
Mommy

I hope that December is a better one for you. I love your letter to sweet Kennedy and smiled at the part about the red dresses, bows and curly hair :)

These holidays are so hard to endure without the ones we love with us. I am thinking about you and hoping that you have a happy and hopeful month ahead. Hugs to you always...<3

I wonder about Christmas in heaven, too. And, I think my sweet girls, Faith and Grace have curly hair too...long, brown, and wavy...with ribbons. I bet they have beautiful Christmas dresses.

Praying for you as you remember your sweet Kennedy this Christmas and in the coming year...

I think you may be right...something about the anticipation of dates we expect to be hard and then once they've come and we survive them...it is sort of like a let-down, in a weird way. I was thinking something similar to that this morning...that it almost seems like these last couple of days have been and are leading up to some of the hardest so far--which is weird because I feel like I'm in such a totally different place at the same time.

So...here's to toasting December with you...praying it's more gentle on our hearts and full of the many, many blessings we know exist.
xoxo

I hope this holiday season brings you some peace... and some happiness too. I have spent the last few Christmases so depressed... and so this year I am looking forward to celebrating a bit.

Sending you big hugs...

I wonder a lot what Heaven is like. I'm sure my mind can't grasp it all! I'm glad that December is here too!
