You Are Christmas…

Merry Christmas!
This was posted by one of my facebook friends and I thought of all of us also. She got it from a blog she reads. Merry Christmas to all of you on the site. I am so blessed every single day to have found Denise, this site and all of my friends here. All the best for all of us and our carees in 2013.
“You Are Christmas”
To all the caregivers
Who make Christmas happen
Even when their hearts are heavy
Moments of rest too few…
You are Christmas.
To all the suffering
Who rise to the occasion
With a smile or a simple gift
Or permission for others
To celebrate without them…
You are Christmas.
To all the doctors and nurses and hospice workers
Whose own trees go undecorated and gifts go unsent
Because it seems every year
The hospitals are full at holiday time…
You are Christmas.
To all the parents
Who recapture the innocence of the season
For the sake of their children
With a song, a story, a silly ritual…
You are Christmas.
After all, it was never about the strong, the powerful, the rich,
The proud,
It was always about the humble, the faithful, the courageous,
The quiet, hopeful ones.
The scared young family standing in wonder at the manger,
Trusting, holding faith, believing in good,
Believing in love.
From both of us – Merry Christmas,
Di and Wes Fisher
