Dear Father Christmas
Tonight I am going to show my friends and family
How much I love them
By showing them what I would buy them
If I could
As it is I have no money
So can only let people know this
That I love them
With all my heart
That I am grateful
For all they do
And if I could
I really and truly most definitely would
First for my best friend
Always on my mind
Though we do not always see each other
As much as we would like
I would love to buy you this necklace
A token of my love
And so you know that I am always thinking of you
Wishing you peace and strength
Wishing that I could do more
This beautiful necklace
Is a Strength Necklace
It comes with love from me
And Matilda Mae
Don’t lose hope when the sun goes down
The stars come out
Next for my husband
He deserves a barrel of whiskey
After all the work he has done
Renovating our house
Making it into a space
Ready for us to make it our home
It has been a long and gruelling year
This year
Living half of it in a temporary house
David has worked so hard
Kept his business going too
Sometimes I think he is super human
He is definitely my super hero
And I am looking forward to a time in the future
When we can sit and drink together
And look back on all that we have done
All that he has done
And I never tell him enough how much I love him
How much I appreciate him and all he does
I want him to sit and hold my hand
Drinking whiskey by the fire
Knowing that we have made it through
And together we will keep on keeping on
Because we love each other
And that is what families do
My next choice is for Granny
Where would we be without Granny?
She helps us so much in so many ways
She looks after Baby Tilda’s garden
She looks after Bea so I can have time with Esther and William
She steps up and steps in
Whenever she is needed
Without comment or complaint
I know that I am very lucky
To have such an incredibly lovely mother in law
And my children are blessed to have the most awesome Granny
William had such a lovely time with Granny on Monday
He just could not stop jumping!
Whenever I think of Granny
I think of calm and peace
I think of words and literature
I think of family
I think of the mother that I would like to be
So for Granny
If I could
I would buy these globes
Glass tree globes representing
Motherhood
Family
Friendship
For my own mother
Who I do not see enough
Who we all love dearly
And miss very much
Who we all would love to cuddle more than we do
A way to show our love across the seas
This Under the Same Moon Pendant
So special
Such powerful words
I know she would love it
Even if she did not wear it all the time
I know that she would treasure it
For my beautiful sister
A simple acknowledgement of what we are
Each other’s past and present and future
We have always been there
Not physically next to each other
But in each other’s lives
And so we will always be
We all live in a fleeting, invisible moment called “the present.”
Not only is now the time for us to take action,
It also serves as a link between our warm, fading memories of the past
And the shining hope of the future.
For three friends never forgotten
Melissa
In memory of Harrison
And celebration of your beautiful rainbows
Susanne
In awe of your strength
Your ability to do good
And your beautiful, powerful writing
Laura
I am so thankful for your constant friendship
In spite of me being rubbish
I so hope to see you soon
Remembering our university times
A shared love of books and dogs
