The light of the Christmas star to you. The warmth of home and hearth to you. The cheer and goodwill of friends to you. The hope of a child-like heart to you. The joy of a thousand angels to you. The love of the Son and God's peace to you.

Some people come into your life as blessings, and others come in your life as lessons. You are both to me.

We never get over our fathers, and we’re not required to. (Irish Proverb)
