I Look To You

I've commented on this time of the year as being the happiest and yet sad as well. It's one of life's paradoxical segments that strains one's soul; the ability to confuse and yet redeem at a given moment. I've often spoken of my parents and the dedication of this very blog to them, is my testament to perplexity of my emotions at Christmas time. They're "here" but not here and my heart still cries out to them for comfort. Redemption is a peculiar entity when faced with the absence of their lives. I didn't take the time when they were alive to let them know that redemption is a powerful and ever giving quality. I learned it way too late. For now, I Look to You! Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad.
