Merry Christmas, Daddy!

Christmas may be considered the most wonderful time of the year, but when one whom you love dies, everything changes.

Merry Christmas, Daddy! asks the questions that we all want to ask, but seldom voice aloud.

How do I celebrate the holidays? What are they doing at this time? Is this a special time in heaven? Who are they with? Do they know we are thinking about them? There are many things we cannot know about heaven until we are there and it can be comforting to use our imaginations until we know for sure. Questions are healthy and we need to look for answers.

When answers are not to be found, we can dream and consider possibilities while leaving the final details up to God.

God has given us vivid imaginations to help us through those times of unanswered questions, and Merry Christmas, Daddy! helps us to use this wonderful gift. This book is for anyone whose loved one is in heaven.

No matter how long they have been there, no matter the circumstances of their arrival, no matter your age or relationship, the pain and loss are real.

Every year, the holidays can be a painful reminder of their absence, but through our imaginations, we can spend a little time with them. I pray that you have a relationship with Jesus and will be reunited with the one you love someday.

Until then, I pray that you will think of them with joy and peace during the holiday season.
