The Missing Gift It's sometimes the little things that get you, like wrapping Christmas gifts, and wishing you were wrapping one, for the person that you miss. These quiet moments of Christmas that should bring happy thoughts, yet you realise the one gift your family would really want is one that can't be bought. Yes, it's these little moments of Christmas, that bring unexpected tears, knowing you would trade in every gift you'd bought just to have that person here. So if your grief is feeling heavier, just know you're not alone, most of us are wishing for the same gift this Christmas, just to have our loved one home.
