My condolences to you, and may God bless and comfort you and yours in your time of loss. It's a tough time of year to lose someone you hold dear.
I lost my Dad not too long ago, we just passed his birthday, and we're approaching the anniversary of his death. He loved the holiday season, so missing him is especially prominent right now. But I try to remember how much joy he found in this time of year, it helps me to get through.
