Snow is falling Christmas Eve
Lights are coming on up and down the street
Sound of carols fills the air
People rushing home, families everywhere
Are putting candles in the windows
And lights up on the tree
But there’s no laughter in this house, not like there used to be
There’s just a million little memories that remind me you’re not here
It’s just a different kind of Christmas this year
In the evening fires glow
Dancing underneath the mistletoe
A letter left from Santa Claus
won’t be the same this year, in this house because
There's one less place set at the table
One less gift under the tree
And a brand new ache to take their place inside of me
I’m unwrapping all these memories, fighting back the tears
It’s just a different kind of Christmas this year
Now there’s voices in the driveway
Families right outside the door
And we’ll try to make this Christmas like the one’s we’ve had before
As we gather round the table
I see joy on every face
And I realize what’s still alive is the legacy you made
It’s time to put the candles in the windows
And lights up on the tree
Its time to fill this house with laughter like it used to be
Just because you’re up in heaven, doesn’t mean you’re not near
It’s just a different kind of Christmas
It’s just a different kind of Christmas this year

My mother was called by the Lord November 25th of this year. Three days after my brothers birthday, the day before Thanksgiving and four days after was my birthday. Mom made Christmas memories for the family throughout her lifetime...will dearly be missed and the holidays will not be the same. I called her every Sunday regardless if I was on vacation or not...she is now my guardian angel in heaven. This is such a beautiful song Mark! I could not hold back the tears.
4 1/2 weeks ago our daughter, 24 yrs old, went home to be with the Lord after a horse riding accident. I just heard this song for the first time, it's to hard and raw, It's just not the same without her. We have 4 incredible children, 1 is now in heaven, and it hurts so much to go through the holidays without her here on earth. Thank you Mark, for sharing a little bit of your story with all of us, there is healing in each small piece of grief.
Steve Klein so sorry for your loss. A parent should never have to bury their child. Praying for you and your family
Steve, I am you, I know, I lost my 25 year young daughter three years ago. It feels the same today as it did the day we lost her. Some how we wake up everyday, we breathe in and out, we put one foot in front of the other and we go on. For the longest time I did not want to live without her. I still don't, only now I am not actively looking for a way to be with her. I ended up in therapy and that keeps me alive. There will never be another day that feels like the day before I lost my daughter. I am still trying to find my way. Every cell in my body feels your pain. My heart and love to you and your family
So sorry
Prayers for all who are grieving. Loss is so hard. And I agree us parents shouldn't outlive our children. 😭🙏
So sorry for the loss of your Beloved Daughter. A parent should never have to bury their child. My sister and my family had to endure the loss of her young son, Joshua. That was over 21 years ago and it's still a different kind of Christmas every year. BTW, Joshua was only 8 and was hit by a car riding his bike. 😥😢
My daughter went home to be with God when she was 14. That was 8 years ago. I miss you, Christian. Oh so much.
My dad's fight with cancer ended in October. My mom played this for me on Christmas Day. What a beautiful song with amazing lyrics. It meant so much. Thank you.
Just found out about the passing of a dear friend who I haven't seen forever. I dedicate this to his beautiful family who will have a different kind of Christmas this year. Rest in Peace Gary.....you were always a kind and loving person.
My mom passed away 28 years ago, and just heard this, and cried like a baby. It really brings it home.
I lost my dad two months ago very suddenly and unexpected. He fell asleep on an airplane and woke up with Jesus. The pain I feel is unlike anything I have ever experienced. This song says EXACTLY how I feel with Christmas coming up. Thanksgiving was hard enough. My best friend sent it to me, and I am glad I had the chance to listen to it, even though it made me ugly cry! I am so grateful my dad is in Heaven where I will one day see him again. But being left on Earth and waiting for that day is unspeakable difficult.
This is my first Christmas without my wife of 40 years, Kathy, who went to be with Jesus in January 2014. This song is precious to me.
We lost our 20 year old son 6months ago in a car wreck. This will be our first Christmas without him. Not even sure how I'm going to get through. He loved Christmas, and to him it was about giving not receiving. I heard this song and have bawled my eyes out. It touched me so much, but still not sure how I will get through this first Christmas. He was our baby. He is so loved and missed. I'm kind of jealous because he is getting to have a luxury Christmas with our Lord and savior. I'm blessed in knowing he is in heaven. Four days before he was killed. He was leaving for work, like any mother, I was telling him to be safe driving, he looked at me with a big smile, and said Momma why do you worry? If I die tonight I'm going to heaven. I love and miss you, Barry Don
I'm so sorry for your loss. I understand how you are feeling. My son was hit by a car 6 years ago when he was 20. He had TBI and just passed away December 10th. They are rejoicing with the Lord this Christmas. You and your family will be in my prayers. God Bless. Kay Borel
so sorry Mechelle Weyer that is so hard. My cousin was in a car wreck and passed away 5 yrs ago. His mother, my aunt, I am very close to, and has not been able to get much better. She says that Christmas is the hardest thing for her. She goes ahead and does all the decorating, and talks to him like he is there, which I am sure he is. At Christmas Dinner, She puts him a chair at the table and everything....my thoughts are with you, Love,
The Lord understands your sadness and heartbreak, he weeps with you. Tears are not a sign of weakness as a Christian but a rejoicing in the gift the Lord gave you in raising your son to know that this is our temporary home. Let the tears flow as God holds you in his arms of love.
So sorry for your loss. 😭 Hallelu-YAH that you *KNOW* where your precious baby boy is and where you will someday be reunited. 🙌 It doesn't take thr pain away, but it sure does help us to keep on keeping on... May God bless you this Christmas. 🙏
You've those beautiful words spoken through your child's spirit & heart. Our daughter left angry & died from an accidental gun shot wound, I'm believing, accidentally suicide, WHAT'S THAT??? She would NEVER do that!!! May the communion of the Holy Spirit comfort you.😢🙏
My mother departed for her place in Heaven Sept 11, 2014 ... This song captures my feelings,too. Thank you, Mark, for this gift to so many!!! Merry Christmas to you & yours. Xx
This is Glenda....I lost my husband, Roger on November 26, 2014 to brain cancer. Someone sent this song to me yesterday and it helped me on my journey of tears, wailing, weeping and healing. Bless you.
I lost my beloved StepMom Gretchen this year to Alzheimer's. Thank you for this song. My wife is UWP 93B. The organization has profoundly impacted our lives in many ways. This is another example. Thank you. Thank you.
My beautiful wife Lisa went to Heaven at age 48 because of cancer on October 17, 2015. Simple, perfect song for our family at this time of year.
+Bob Kost Sorry for your loss... Heaven gained an "angel"!
My dad was diagnosed with 4th stage lung cancer a week before Christmas in 2005 and lost his battle 15 months later in March of 2007. What a beautiful song that brought tears to my eyes....as it's been a different kind of Christmas each year since! God Bless you Mark Schultz!!!
Wow! God surely gave your dad a good fight. My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer, which had spread to his liver, brain, and his entire lymphatic system in December of 2018 after suffering a mild stroke. He refused the chemo, which doctors said would maybe extend his life 3 to 6 months because his cancer was throughout his entire body. From the time I was little my dad always said he hoped his death would be fast; he was terrified of being a burden and of lingering too long. Well, he died just weeks after his cancer diagnosis on January 19, 2019. Christmas was his favorite holiday and I sure do miss him. So sorry for your loss. 🙏
My husband of 37 years went to Heaven in April. His dad joined him in September. It was very different this year. but I KNOW I will see them again!
We lost our youngest boy over 8 years ago after a long, painful fight with cancer. I still look around at every family gathering and expect him to walk in. Thanks so much for singing this song. It does bring tears, but it just "a different kind of Christmas".
My mom passed away this past May 24, 2018. Missing her, terribly, this Christmas. But I know she is in heaven. Miss you mama.
My first Christmas without my dear, sweet, loving husband. I'm not celebrating. Can't without him.
We lost our daughter last year, I was numb the first Christmas, it was so soon, I was in shock. Well, reality has kicked in, I would skip Christmas, Thanksgivings ALL, of it, but she has 3 young adult children, HOW DO YOU GO ON? Only with God, my heart grieves so for all who have lost a child😢
I’ve never had something reach deep in my heart.. my mom passed two years ago.. unexpectedly. My second Christmas without her. Never gets easier. you took the words I didn’t know how to express what I am feeling. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this song!!! It’s so beautiful ❤
Lost my dad 12/21/07. He was buried on his birthday, Christmas Eve. Twelve years later and I still can't get through Christmas without falling apart.
Lost my sweet boy Snoopy Dec 3rd 2022. Two weeks ago today. He's been with me for the last 10 Christmas's. The best 10 Christmas's. He lost his battle with cancer. I miss him dearly. It's the first time he ever broke my heart.
If you don't get tears in your eyes (Thinking about all of our loved one who havegone on to be with Jesus), you're NIT human. Love it, PERIOD!
Third Christmas without him. Time changes nothing. I barely made it through the shopping. I miss him so much. The pain is deep I dream of happiness again one day.
Believe in Jesus be born again
I lost my beloved husband, Chris on the 3rd October 2014 and this song says it all.....................I am weeping buckets just listening to it. Life will never be the same without you my darling but I am trying so hard.
This will be our first Christmas without our 10 year old grandson who passed away from brain cancer on April 12, 2016. I know it is going to be so difficult for all of us. Heaven was needing another angel. We love you Kyler and miss you so much.
I know this song is about your wife's father but my son, Chris, passed away December 10th. He was only 26 and lost a 6 year battle with TBI. He was hit by a car 11/20/08. Chris was in pain every day, seizures, and a 5 minute short term memory. Through all of that he was still a prankster and brought joy to our hearts. Chris is greatly missed. When I heard this song it touched my heart. He is rejoicing with the Lord this Christmas.
I can relate to your loss. My dad passed December 7th after a 6 year battle after a severe stroke, which he also had about a 5 minute memory. He too, always kept us laughing and never failed to make us smile. Prayers to you for peace and comfort.
My Grandad was a pastor. Every year on Christmas he would gather the family around the tree and read from the bible. Unfortunately , we lost my Nana and Grandad 6 months apart in 2014. The pain of losing him is real and raw almost 6 years later. My Grandad was my best friend and my hero. My heart aches like it did the day he was called home. RIP Grandad. March 1938-August 2014.
Its been 9 years without mom . There's a hole in our hearts. I don't think we(me my bro and sis) will ever recover. Id rather be beaten raw with a bat then continue to feel this every year. Mommy We have a baby here now Mare's a mommy too.You'd be soooo.... proud of her. Her daughter is adorable and you were so good with babies ,you could stop any child from crying.Well you could take all our hurt always. Your spirit fills your childrens hearts. Now God is there for us you have no worries.
I lost my brother Doug Carpenter this year to a cardiac arrest on October 21st . This song really touched my heart . Doug is celebrating in Heaven this year . it truly is a different kind of Christmas this year .
Thank you Mark, Or should I call you Michael W. Smith. I lost my husband last Christmas My son put your song on Facebook to comfort me. Praise the Lord you are being used by God to comfort families like ours. My Steadfast Warrior is in Heaven but he left his legacy in our son and daughter and so many others. Thank you again Mark. From your goofy girl in the front row who still thinks your Michael W. Smith. Merry Christmas.
my dad died on Christmas 9 years ago and it still hurts, even my mom only lasted 9 months after his passing. Your song truly hits my heart and i listen to it every year on Christmas eve to try and bring myself out of the sadness i feel. Thank you for being a special part of my Christmas
this song is exactly how people feel that have lost a loved one! What a great song
I miss you Mom and Dad! I will try to carry on your legacy of love and strength!! Thank you Mark for such a beautiful song that helps heal a broken heart! ❤-Libby
Me too😢
I miss you so much, darling Gene.
My Family has had a rough 2 years my brother passed away March 30 2018 while my dad had just been diagnosed with Colon cancer and lost his battle
March 21 2019 ! I shared this song with my nieces nephew's and son to remind them while we may be separated at this time they left their legacies and would want us happy as we rejoice together keeping their Memories alive and Forever in OUR HEARTS ! Very Positive and Inspirational Song !!
My Dad passed away in August . He was 92 ! I miss him so much .He was suffering at the End but God took him to the beautiful place of no more pain and suffering . He loved the Holidays and Christmas was his favorite !! Miss you dad ! Thank you mark for such a beautiful song !!!!
My husband died on Dec. 10 th and it is something that I will never forget.😞
Lost my daughter in oct 2013. This song broke my heart but made me feel better by the end of it. She was murdered by her husband and i finally accepted that she is gone but not forgotten!! Everyone who has lost someone close should listen to this song.
My beautiful 22 year old granddaughter died unexpectedly on Christmas eve 2020. She was a loving young mother and a bright nursing student on the Dean's list. My heart is broken.
Miss you mom...Holidays are not the same without you.
Had the honor to see him in Concert at Nazareth Lutheran Church in Cedar Falls in December 2015! Mark Schultz music has changed my life for the better! He is truly an inspiration to me! Love his music and their messages! Thank you Mark Schultz for helping me change my life around for the better with your songs! God bless you always!
Missing my sweet Great Niece Jordan for the 4th Christmas. She left a legacy at the young age of 15 from Epilepsy. In the Lord's arms now shining down from heaven..Miss you JoJo
My sister died just months ago. I've been struggling to get into the Christmas spirit but my heart is broken. She was so wonderful. She had down syndrome and was a gift to everyone that knew her. She was 33 she thought everyday was her birthday. Christmas was especially special for her because she loved all the gifts. This Christmas is heart wrenching. Ugh It all feels like a bad dream! This song helped to remind me that she is still here, I will try to focus on that. Sigh
My dad went to heaven 12 years ago and tonight I find myself struggling.
This song is true I lost my daughter to ovarian cancer in August,she has 2 boys 13 and 15 ,and a beautiful husband that is so lost,we are all very sad xmas for us
I've lost so many loved ones including a cousin who never had her 1st Christmas and it was hard to see all my family and know she wasn't going to be here she wouldn't get to experience the magic of Santa but her Christmas was better she is with Jesus with no pain and no more suffering and she is with my Grandpa
No one really knows what it's like until it happens to you, every Christmas or special day of the year is filled with a different emotion that was shared with your loved ones before they left us and now walk along side of Jesus in heaven! It often doesn't get easier but the memories continue to flood our hearts and minds especially this time of year! I pray for those who have lost a loved one this year the joy of knowing where they are that you will be able to share in the peace and love of remembering the legacy they left behind and see the lives they touched while on this earth will give you comfort during the celebration of Christ birth and the reason we share this time of year, not for the presents but for His presence! God bless
I heard this song today. We lost our mom September 14 th of this year. And she was always the laughter and holiness, and our true rock. We are going to have a tough time, but I know God will carry us they. Knowing that others share the same pain as we do helps me. My prayers are for you all that have lost loved ones, that God grant us the mercy and Grace we need to help each other thru the difficult days and to lift each one to Jesus our Savior, who can. And will get us all through. Love to all.
I lost my husband suddenly on Dec. 21st of last year. This song grabbed my heart without my husband being with me this Christmas. Thinking of everyone that is dealing with missing their loved ones.
My dad passed on December 21st 2018 as well. I miss him so much. Hugs to you
@@werrymom3 thanks and hugs back.... so painful to love so much and now only in our memories!
my dad pass away on 11/6/16.Christmas was very hard on me.my dad was more than a father, he was me hero.this song made me cry. I miss him so much that the pain is still there.Christmas was not the same all i did was sleep.So to everyone who has lost a love one please remember we will see them again and that is what we need to look forward to! So to my hero i will see you and mom again. I THANK God for giving me parents that never gave up on me when at times i did not believe in my self.😇
This song makes me think of my Mom and how much we have missed her for the last 26 years.
I lost my grandpa in February this year. This song made me cry. Thank God for you.
I lost 2 of my nieces 3 months ago to a car accident. For my family it’s going to be a different Christmas this year. Tanner Charlee Auntie Jessi misses you and she loves you to the moon and back 🧡💙
I lost my mother November 23, 2014. This is our first Christmas without her. I was able to spend last Christmas with her and I will treasure those memories forever. Thank so much for this song.
Lost my granny in January,then lost my dad in September, just few month ago.it hurts Alot, without them my world been dark, ..
The song is perfect..💔
I haven’t put up a Christmas tree since my Daddy died in May 2006. My sons are grown now & I failed them by not carrying on my Daddy’s legacy. It is too late for me to make up for lost mistakes but I have a first grandchild born on 12/30. I will have a tree up this year.
Beautiful, My mom died in February and my brother last Oct. It's not easy. God bless you all Find comfort in your memories of those loved and lost.
Lost my dad 2 months ago to a traffic car accident. He was only 49. At times it seems so unreal! I miss you Daddy!
May God comfort and strengthen each and everyone that has lost someone this year from this virus and from any sickness n cancer like my mom fought for 8 years. I have comfort in knowing that she knew Jesus Christ as her savior and I held her hand till the end and one thing she said to me is I'm so glad we are saved because I know this isn't the end It's just the beginning and I'll see you again and that's the hope that we have those that are in Christ Jesus that we have a home in heaven for all eternity so fear not what the world and the flesh can do to the body but it is our Spirit that will rise with Jesus on that glorious day 🙌when He returns for His bride the Church (us) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year God bless each and every one of you a big hug 🤗and a kiss😘 for whoever needs it I know I do❤️ Much love to💖 humanity 🕊️🛐❤️🎄🗽✌️⭐✝️🦁🙏🙌
My sister Karen passed away 2 days before Thanksgiving, she was special needs and our Christmas is going to be different , she loved Christmas and her birthday, January 26, we will truly miss her, but she is always in my heart
I'm so sorry for your loss. Her love is with you. Prayers for your heart. 🙏🕯️💙
My Dad, my rock, my advisor, my guardian angel, the only man who has ever been in my life that I could trust beyond any doubt, the one who made me feel worthy... I love you Daddy, you were such a great father. I have been so very blessed to have you in my life.The memories are so sweet...."I love you in a place where theres no space or time, I love you in my life you are a friend of mine." Gwen N
My uncle died January 21st 2016 this song makes me cry knowing he won't be around for another Christmas
I listen to this and play it for my family every Christmas since losing my 19 year old daughter 11 years ago
I lost my dad Dec. 3, 2017 it is so hard. Christmas is just around the corner and it is so hard to imagine him not being there Christmas morning with our family. I was driving home from work one night when this song came on the radio. It hit me so hard. But it makes sense. My dad is in heaven and will be with us always but it doesn't make the pain go away it just makes it easier for me to pass the day knowing that he is looking upon us. There will never be a moment when I wont miss my daddy.
Dedicated to my Momma. Sunset 06/25/2019. Rest well Momma. Different kind of Christmas this year. I love you forever. Give Daddy and Quintin a kiss.
So sorry to hear of your loss. May she be at peace, and you find a way to put the candles in the window still. My heart goes out to you...
My grandma died 4 years ago and this has been true for every year since
I miss you grandma
Every year, you hope it wont be as hard as the last.... but every year it is still just as hard, and emotions just as raw. The new norm of holidays is nothing like they used to be.
I feel your pain Heidi, missing my parents so much today...Dad passed away on October 20 th...our mother's birthday...she passed away 1-1/2 years ago...this song has me so emotional today...
I just lost my mom last month and knew it'd never get easier. People claim it will but I know it's not going to ever be the same again..
I can very much relate to your comments.. Every year nomatter what i have learnt, what i have achieved, the loss of loosing time with my loved ones is more than all that.. Its time that's precious and can't be bought back :(
Hope Whitney -hugs to you😢and everyone, as we grapple with the loss of our loved ones.
All of your comments hits me on so many levels
My grandma died 4 years ago and she was the relative that I was closest to at the time and I still miss her and I actually got closer with one of my sisters then I had ever been, I had went to my grandma's house like every day when we moved to the house beside her till she died but as a Christian I know that I will see her again
I have been so moved by this song. I lost my daughter three years ago. She was so young, only 25 years old. We have not had a tree, lights on the house or any of our traditional activities. I hope one day to be in the last verse of this song, I am just not there yet. The empty place at our table is daily but even feels even more heavy on holidays. Christmas was Kaitlyn"s favorite holiday. She loved spoiling everyone in her life. The girl could not stop buying gifts! Thank you for this song. I hope to be in your last verse and putting up a tree and lighting up our house one day.
my late deceased 17 year old stepbrother David this Mark Schultz Christmas song has me thinking of you today Christmas hasn’t been the same for me and the family ever since you passed away on December 4th 2011 three weeks right before Christmas rolled around David we miss you every single day we constantly think about you every day your on our minds 24/7 all the time Christmas gets harder for our family to deal with every single year but thinking of you and listening to this song helps to bring healing to our hearts this Mark Schultz song has me thinking of you today bro I miss you more than you’ll ever know we love you bro Rest In Peace bro
Every year I listen to this and my heart breaks. I miss my husband sooo much. 😢
A beautiful song. I lost my mom 3 years ago and Christmas as never been the same. Christmas was her favorite holiday and Dec. 9, 2012 she passed. I miss her more and more everyday.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my grandmother the day before you lost your mom, and it's the same. Christmas was always celebrated at her house. I'll never have that feeling again.
Lost my father 5 days ago on December 23. It was definitely a different kind of Christmas.
We lost Dad this fall in a farming accident -- I'm going to miss him calling me and asking 'has your Mom mentioned anything she wants for Christmas?' We were such a good team - me shopping with his credit card! We had so much fun surprising her. Yes, it feels like a different Christmas this year........thanks for sharing this song!
What an incredible song. After suffering a sudden loss of somewhere near and dear to me, I can relate to this 100%. Thank you for the beautiful lyrics
lost my dad on july 4th 2011 MISS YOU DAD EVERY DAY!
Love this song .I have loss my Daddy.MaMa.and 4Brothers and 2Sister.I am the only one left.This song is perfect thank you
Oh Cathy, my heart goes out to you. I ask that God wrap you in his love and meet you where you are at to comfort you and bring you peace💛💛💛
May God give you peace Cathy , I lost my mother in May and my son in August of 2019 and it never gets any easier as I look at his picture on the table and know neither wont ever be here for any more holidays .
i cried through out this entire song my nanny passed away Nov 14th of last year it was such a hard Christmas without her i miss her so much thank you for sharing your beautiful song with us it helped me get through 💙
This hits home for me. My 91 y/o FIL was living with us and died on November 15th. My husband and I had a very different kind of Christmas, indeed.
I miss my cousin sister, Betty. Betty Rest in Peace at the feet of Jesus till we meet again.
First Christmas without my grandma. I know she made her home above, but it still hurts. This song helps me remember to think on the good times I had with her. Her calling my mom to check up on me, durging my road trip in 2018, to see how I was doing. All the times she told me she loved me... I can go on.
My God I miss my husband. Loved him so much my sweet angel. 🎄😪
I don't think a song has so closely expressed what I'm feeling in my heart this Christmas. My mom passed away last Christmas Eve. She was 88 years old, and my brother and sister and I were all with her in those final hours, until her last breath. It was a heart-wrenching experience but beautiful and sacred at the same time. It has been a difficult year, and as this Christmas approaches my mind is replaying those last days and nights we spent by her bedside. I know she is in a better place but the tears still flow for the loss of her physical presence - her smile when I walked in the room, the kiss on my cheek, the touch of her hand in mine, and the sound of her voice. Thank you, Mark, for the gift of this song that has touched not only me but countless others during this blessed season. Merry Christmas, everyone.
What a beautiful song. I'm crying so hard. Mom, I miss you so much and I wish that we could spend one more Christmas together...cooking and laughing and being silly. You left me great memories that I will cherish forever. I love you.
Nathan you were my first born. My heart will never be the same. I love and miss you everyday Nathan. Until we see each other again...
I lost my 22-year old on March. We haven't figured out how to do the holidays this year. There is such a hole in my heart this time.
Its not a mood. Its grief ❤ you
My bride of 44 years passed 2 months ago. I was having a very low day today and her hairdresser called me and had me listen to this song as a message from my beloved. *sobbing here*
My baby boy passed away in May, this really hits home
Miss you Bruce...
My son Scott went home to the Lord on August 10th of this year. Miss him so very much! :(
+Anita Mauterer ...So sorry for your loss, Anita. Our son left Earth this year, too, on December 3, 2015. Our lives are changed forever.
+Jean Campbell +Anita Mauterer so sorry to both of you for such a great loss...prayers for comfort to you and your family.
Anita and Jean, how are you both doing? Before Thanksgiving I Lost my Best Friend and Best Man, my amazing Dad. My sister just sent me this and as I sit here and cry, I wonder if the pain will ever go away. I'm so sorry for your loss. And pray you have found Peace through your sorrow.
~robp
Not sure why I listen to this song again....lost my mom 4 years ago, my daddy 3 weeks ago. Now they are together again in heaven and me and my siblings are alone. It's so hard......and no, it won't ever be the same again!! It's just so painful and I have really made an effort to get into Christmas for the sake of my grandchildren, but the emotions keep coming to the surface. Last week I took my Christmas present, a wreath, for my parents to a cemetery, that hurt so much. I miss them both so much!
I just can't stop thinking about this song and how much it helped me. My husband was diagnosed with pancreatic Cancer on Nov 3rd and died Nov 30th. This Christmas was certainly different. Thank you for the song.
This song brought tears to my eyes. My boyfriend of 8 years past away January 6 this year. Soon will be his one year anniversary. This Christmas is different and this song is so true. I miss Thomas everyday.more because it's a first Christmas without him. I know he is in heaven but it's still hard. This song says it all. Love you. My sweet man.
Today is the first day I have ever heard this song. Thank you... It is very hard this year, we lost my mom around Mothers Day, and the holidays are so hard to handle. Even the young kids say that it sucks because the fact that their Great Grandma is gone... Thank you for expressing what we are thinking but unable to say.
I lost my mum to cancer last year in August and my two cousins this year..I miss them all so very much. Definetly will be a different kind of Christmas this year.
So many loved ones are gone in my life now, my dad, my brother, grandparents. My beautiful niece Ginger passed away unexpectedly at the young age of 30 on Oct 4, 2014. She was my niece, more like a daughter, actually, and best friend with whom I did everything together with. Ginger left behind an 8 yr old son Chase, who is severely autistic. It is just not going to be Christmas without her this year.. her laughter, her joy and excitement for the holiday and family. Your song, "He's My Son" just hit home with us and especially Ginger, from the moment she heard it. She put a home video of it to your beautiful song. So moving. Thank you for your beautiful gift of music and words from the heart that you share with us, Mark. God Bless you always.
Reminds me of my counselor Mama Theresa Rhode....She went home to Heaven January 7th 2015...I miss her everyday...but i know someday i'll see her again!
Mom went to Heaven May 13th.
Different for sure. Miss her. Our memories keep her near. Beautiful song that captures how I am feeling.
The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
