reminds me of my childhood during christmas 1995 when all the family was around and America was more innocent, how things haved changed, the good ol 1990s, we miss you....
My GOD, this is the most beautiful Christmas song that I've ever heard. This song is the true meaning of Christmas. Thank you so much for the post. Merry Christmas 2010.
At the time I never thought of anyone hearing this of losing a loved one gone, but I sure know now. Grandpa and Donald. They were there the first time I heard this song. And now they are gone. Please No one take anyone for Granted. Be thankful for your loved ones everyday.... And make sure you tell them you love them.
Miss the Old days. Hate the Present without Grandpa and Donald..... Sorry Don't mean to keep Posting. This is My Peace, and good Memories of when I was young. Can't watch much of the home video of what I want these days with hubby around. He just sighs and rolls his eyes. Guess I can just listen here, and remember. I will always remember this song, in the most important time of the home video. Just makes me sad. I only post this at Christmas. 5 years since Gramps died. 7 for Donald.
I miss you Grandpa and Uncle Donald!!!! This song was YOU and the WHOLE FAMILY TOGETHER...... Thats my Memory..... I guess I just need to watch the Video, but I miss you both so much. This makes me feel peace, but at the same time, makes me sad. I want my Grandpa and Donald Back, and would love to have Grandma Ann here too.
I'm with you all, I watched my mother battle cancer for 2 years. This song just makes me think of her and what I lost. But it makes me happy knowing she's someplace better. I hope that you all find joy in your family that you still have and remember those that have gone with a fond memory.
I had to do silent night in sign language to this song, it is a very pretty song, and even though I have frogotten how to do the sign language, I never froget this song <3
I watched my father suffer for 5 years until he passed away in 2007 from cancer. I was 17. Throughout my teenage life, I dtopped caring and feeling alot of things, but this song would always bring me back to a place where tears existed. This song is a direct path to my heart, and it is Beautiful.
I'm 20 now, and this song still makes me feel. You are all beautiful, just like this song, and I love each and every one of you, Those who have lost, and those who have not.
I am sorry for everyones losses here. This song always makes me cry as well. I first heard this song Christmas Eve 1988. My family were together that night, and since than I have lost my Uncle and Grandfather. This is just the song you can listen too, and think back on the happy times. Even though we miss our loved ones and always try to remember the happy times. Merry Christmas Everyone. God Bless.
Thank you for your comment. I am sure we all miss our family. Every year when I start decorating my christmas tree I always have 2 white doves that must go on the tree at first. The day after my mother died I had a wonderful encounter with dove! I know that she was watching over me. I MISS MY MOM!!
I first listened to this song in 1991. My mother passed away in 1990 and I took this song and played it at her grave. I cried like a baby. She would have so loved this song. It makes me cry every time I hear it. It is the most beautiful rendition I've ever heard. I miss my mother!
Thank you so much! The holidays are so hard without your loved ones. My sisters and I try and keep her holiday traditions on going. She was so wonderful - as many an mother is. We miss her so much. Thank you for thinking of me and my family. I does touch my heart! God Bless you and your family.
Thank you so much. It is so wonderful to know that people like you care so much. I wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas and the VERY BEST IN THE NEW YEAR. Again, thank you so much. You have touched my heart!
You sweet thing you!!! We did have a wonderful Christmas (just missed our mother) with kids running wild! That is what mama would have loved the most! Christmas was always about the "babies" that was anyone under 18 years old for us......but not to mom. I will admit that age does not belong in this family. My nieces and nephews have absolutely no age limit. I thank you so much for reminding me of what Christmas is all about. IT IS FAMILY!
I know too well of losing someone. I greive everyday for My Uncle Donald and My Grandpa Bill.. I heard this song one year while everyone was at my house and was still alive.
I would listen to this song b4 christmas morning and lay in my bed listening to it and slowely fall asleep closing my eyes...as i driffted to sleep i would listen carfully to the music and hear my father say i wish i was there but im in a better place....i miss him so much lost him when i was 12 i am 14 ;( love u
I hear ya! Wonderfully said. I'm 59 & both my folks died in 1985 & I still miss them. Hearing this song brings back many memories of my past........... Christmas is still wonderful; but somehow just not the same w/o Mom & Dad.........
