Beautiful, Lou, and exactly what i needed to hear. I’m visiting family out of town. I’m here, but I feel lonely. I’m participating (taking a rest now) but feeling unsettled and a sense of detachment, wishing there was one person here I connected with. Knowing I can’t change things and will just ride them out. Thank God for Mom and Ruby.
Hope you’re okay. I know you have too many empty chairs. Sending love.
Oh Louise, there are times when unknowingly, you hit a cord that even I didn’t know could be struck. And that was when I listened to this. I had been the one that straightened the tablecloth and moved the chairs closer together because our past loved ones were gone. You managed to bring the memories flooding back. And with that, I will reach for a kleenex. ❤️😘
That empty chair he once sat on resonated with me. That void that you dare not talk about for fear it will open our hearts with an outpouring of tears. But you said it was good to let them flow.... Indeed we all feel the emptiness around us through the hustle and bustle, the highs and the lows.
The pride in our children and how they cope too, just gives me the strength to muddle through. Oh how I wish I could undo the emptiness of missing you know who.... Thank you Louise for your reflection and to know it’s not just me who’s missing someone but still we keep looking up to the light.
Thank you so much. This is such a beautiful encouragement and reflection--so many facets of what's painful at the holidays...you brought comfort in them. You're such a bright joy, Lou.
