The world lost one of its most magical people on Friday, just a few hours after Christmas.
From the back of your big blue eyes
I knew you’d be gone as soon as you could
And I hoped you would
We could see that you weren’t yourself
And the lines on your face did tell, it’s just as well
You’d never be yourself again
Saw you last night
Danced by the light of the moon
Stars in your eyes
Free from the life that you knew
You’re the magic that holds the sky up from the ground
You’re the breath that blows these cool winds ’round
Trading places with an angel now
Goodnight, Grandpa. I can’t imagine anybody ever taking your place.

It really wasn’t my intention to stop blogging as soon as NaBloPoMo finished. It’s amazing just how much I miss writing here every day after getting myself into such a good habit.
I won’t go into the reasons for my absence, I’ll just take this opportunity to remind myself that it’s okay to continue blogging about the inane while the bigger real-life stuff goes on in the background. Hear that, Self? Good.
These have hit my inbox multiple times over the past couple of weeks, so I thought it would be nice to spread the cheer. Enjoy!
“Here’s hoping your holidays are notable.”
“Hope you make it through the holidays.”
“Count your blessings this holiday season.”
“Best wishes for a stab-free holiday season.”
“Wishing you a warm and only mildly infuriating holiday season.”
And although this one isn’t Christmas-related at all, I have to share it. It’s pretty hard to beat a your mom joke:
