The Empty Chair

💛💛💛The Empty Chair💛💛💛

Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Tonight I feel a bit of sorrow as I look at the empty chair.

The memories of yesteryears flood in against the what would have beens, the what ifs and remember when.

Tomorrow the house will be full and love will surround the empty chair. All the time knowing you will be near.

My cracked heart will be held together with the armor of being strong in your honor. New memories will be made, and I will remember all the love you gave.

And when the house grows quiet at the end of the night, I will look at at the stars and be thankful for the beautiful sight.

I will feel your hug and know I am blessed that my love for you is still so strong. It will make my wait to see you again not seem so long.

I will forever be grateful that there was a love so strong, it makes me long for you to be sitting in the empty chair.
