Feeling Contemplative

Feeling contemplative lately and a little sad.  Christmas is coming, but it still seems like it should be July.  I haven't felt this way since Carmon died over 32 years ago.

On July 17th, I lost one of my best friends.  He didn't die but was stolen from me by a drug.  To say that I miss him would be an understatement.  I still pray for him every day, but I know he has his agency and even God won't interfere with that, no matter how much the people who love him pray.

Last Christmas was a wonderful season.  We were a family.  This year feels so empty.  Sometimes I can hardly catch my breath for the sorrow I feel.  I can't even talk to him.  I can't wish him a merry Christmas.  I can't give him a gift.  All I can do is cry and pray and cry some more and he doesn't even know it.  He thinks he was "just a project" to me.  He is so much more than that.  I love him because Christ loves him.

I am so sad that he doesn't feel either love.
