Such a beautiful piece. It really touched me. We have come to a quiet sea front location to get through Christmas in the absence of my nephew, my sister’s son. Our two families, together, to comfort each other and traverse this magical time. I know the essence of him is here around us, with us and still touching each day. On his sister’s birthday yesterday, she sat on the sofa and found beside her a small white feather. My sister and I looked at each other. He is still here, walking beside us. In those signs we find comfort, help in the unbearable becoming bearable. We have to look for the love and beauty in our days to enable us to keep stepping forward. Wishing peace and love to you and yours at Christmastime.

Thank you, Beth. This was exactly what my heart needed right now.

I will take this with me as I unfold into Christmas Eve. I also find myself chatting with strangers more this time of year. Perhaps I can carry the festive feels further (the sense of interbeing - into the New Year.

And I believe in signs - I love the ones your mom is placing in your path. My dad visits that way often. Merry Christmas ✨🫶
