In Faith
Every Christmas, during the hurriedness of the holiday, I promise to remember you. Just one day out of the year, I’ll remember you. The comfort of your smile. The joy in your movements. The way your eyes glistened. The hope on your face and in your voice. The moment you saw me in the crowd and held on to me.
I promise to remember the way you made me feel. Through all the struggles. All the accomplishments. When you left. Or when you thought I had. The tears you held back when you realized I was still here, waiting.
And I’ll wait for you as long as you want to come back, dear friend.
Just one day a year, I promise. I can’t take much more.
