“Love doesn’t disappear when gatherings do.”

Even when families shift,
when invitations stop,

when distance separates us,
even when dynamics fracture.
Love still exists, its just quieter and holds a new shape.

It may no longer sit at the same table,
or follow the same traditions,
or move in the same patterns,
but it remains,
in the lessons learned,
in the wishes whispered,
in the hope that someday hearts soften
and paths cross with more grace than before.

Christmas is not measured by who shows up,
but by the love you carry with softness,
the peace you claim with each breath,
and the light you choose to reflect or deny.

The heart remembers
what the room forgets.
Love endures while transforming,
even here.

Gentle Practice:
Wrap your arms around yourself.
Say: “I am loved, even in the quiet.”
