Stocking

I braved into the depths of our storage room

to unearth the Christmas box today.

I needed to pull out our nativity set,

and grab our stockings.

I counted as I pulled them from the box:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7

8

Why do we have an extra stocking?

I must have miscounted!

8 again.

And then it hit me,

with a pinch to the heart:

That stocking was supposed to be for Baby Brother.

We have a stocking

for a child we don't have.

Ouch!

Tears & prayers for you, my friend. We, too, have a stocking that never, ever got to hang with ours...
