Everyone needs someone to believe in them.

 

Nikki Giovanni Winter poem

"once a snowflake fell
on my brow and i loved
it so much and i kissed
it and it was happy and called its cousins
and brothers and a web
of snow engulfed me then
i reached to love them all
and i squeezed them and they became
a spring rain and i stood perfectly
still and was a flower."

All I Ask Of You (From "The Phantom of The Opera")

"No more talk of darkness,
Forget these wide-eyed fears;
I'm here, nothing can harm you,
My words will warm and calm you.

Let me be your freedom,
Let daylight dry your tears;
I'm here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you.

Say you love me every waking moment,
Turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always;
Promise me that all you say is true,
That's all I ask of you.

Let me be your shelter,
Let me be your light;
You're safe, no one will find you,
Your fears are far behind you.

All I want is freedom,
A world with no more night;
And you, always beside me,
To hold me and to hide me.

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
Let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you need me with you, here beside you,
Anywhere you go, let me go too,
Christine, that's all I ask of you

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime;
Say the word and I will follow you.

Share each day with me,
Each night, each morning.

Say you love me!
RAOUL
You know I do.

Love me, that's all I ask of you"

Time

  My Mom and I were very close, we talked on the phone every day and I was her primary caregiver. It's difficult to try to celebrate holidays without her. It's only been seven months... So, it's all very new. My hope is that time will heal the hearts of others who find themselves in the same situation and that people who love them, will be understanding and supportive during one of the most difficult times in their lives.

"The Shop Around the Corner" (1940)

This is another one of my favorite Christmas movies. I try to watch it every year around the holidays.
