Story behind the song

At the holidays we all experience joyful times, but remember: There are those who struggle daily with the loss of a loved one. The holidays can seem empty and full of loneliness, so lend a hand, visit a neighbor or shut-in. Share some cookies, a short visit, a movie, a smile. Someone that YOU know would really appreciate that, more than you'd imagine. Remember that you're never alone, the Lord is always with you, so reach out to another person and lift them up. Invite someone to church with you!!!!!

Lyrics

This is Andrew Dean wishing you and yours the best Holiday Season, and although many of us are very happy at the Holidays, some of us have sad moments at the Holidays. One of my sad moments was losing my sister 3 1/2 years ago to breast cancer.

I always miss her, but at the holidays there always seems to be an empty chair where I think she should be. I’ve come to realize after 3 1/2 years that there will never be anyone in that chair.

But, let me share this with you. 2 1/2 years before her death it was Christmas time and she didn’t know where she was going to get the money for presents. So she bought me a pair of gloves. She also bought my wife a small potpourri container with some small vanilla scented waxes. And when she gave these gifts, with her eyes welled up with tears, she said, “I’m sorry, I realize that it’s not that much, but it’s all I can do.”

She died a couple of years later and never really knew the true meaning of those gloves.

Those gloves represented a gift from the heart that warmed my hands, until my fingers fell through the ends. And, although those gloves are gone, there still is the potpourri with vanilla waxes sitting in my bathroom. I miss her dearly, but when I come home with a bad day, and it seems like the whole world is against me –
I can walk into our bathroom and smell vanilla from the waxes, and I know in my heart that my sister is there, watching over me.

So, at this Christmas time, my wish for you, who have lost someone, is to hold something in your hand that reminds you of them, think of their loving memory, wish for them peace, and know that they are watching over you the whole year through.

May you have a Blessed Christmas.
