Wishing

On this Christmas Eve, when joy should reign and hearts should rest easy in the comforts of home and family, let us not forget those for whom this holiday holds a grief too big to imagine.

For Newtown, Connecticut.

For Webster, New York.

And for the many in this world whose stories are not splashed across headlines but whose grief, desperation, and pain are no lesser felt or worthy of our prayers.  May your load grow lighter, may your grief be eased, and may each dawning morning hold the promise of another chance to begin anew.

This is my Christmas wish.
