How am I doing?
Staying stubborn
How am I really doing?
***
Trying to catch myself falling
Keeping it together sure is exhausting
I’m holding myself together with tape and glue
***
Not sure who these tears belong to…
Another year around the sun
Hate to say it, but it wasn’t fun
***
Every night I pray
Dear God, just let me be okay
Get through this Christmas without having to cry every day
***
Too proud to say this to anyone’s face
Attempting to get through this year with some GRACE.
The holidays always tap me out. I have a feeling I’m going to need that vacay I’m planning in January just to recover from December.
Best of luck. I hear you.

My father passed away five years ago and since then Christmas always holds an element of sadness for me. It’s just hiding there in the background with my memories.

Wow, Sandra, I am sorry for your loss. The sadness just kinda looms over the whole affair, doesn’t it? I get it. I wear one of my Papa’s flannel shirts around the house when I have really hard days. I hope you do something that comforts you. I tend to forget to comfort myself.
