The Table

"Around the Christmas table

there's an empty chair this year....

The precious smile is missing

of someone we still hold dear.

And yet our hearts are hopeful,

though the season's bittersweet,

Because we know the one we love

has filled another seat.

For another banquet table

abounds with joy and love

For those who've made the journey

to be with our Lord above. "

This a sweet little poem the funeral home sent us......in a Christmas card......remembering our precious baby girl. The words are so very true! We would love to see her sweet precious little face smiling around our table, but we rejoice in the fact that our darling Caroline is seated at the greatest banquet table ever. We find peace in knowing that our tiny baby girl is being held and loved by our Savior, Jesus Christ. This Christmas, like all of the ones to come, is hard. But, thankfully, God has allowed me to see and focus on ALL of the many blessings we have. I have some very thoughtful and sweet friends, who have remembered us and our little princess this Christmas, and we will always treasure their thoughtful acts of kindness for our family. With sad, yet thankful hearts, we remember our baby Carloine, and with hope we look to the future.
