This is the poem that came with the Hallmark ornament I bought for the top of our little tree this first Christmas without our Nissa. Everytime I read it (often!), although I can't help but start crying again, I also find it quite comforting, and hope that it might comfort someone else, too.
I know I am still with you
in your prayers, your thoughts, your heart
And though you cannot see me,
I will always be a part
of life's sweet celebrations
in those times when you reflect
on how, though things are different,
through our love, we still connect.
We'll see each other someday
when our spirits all are free,
until then, I am with you
because you remember me.
