Ghost-Filled Holidays

I’m not such a bearer of Good Tidings and Cheer this holiday season of 2021.  I am still grieving for my dog who died on October 6.  That sadness bleeds over onto my memories of family and friends who are no longer in this world.  Life goes by fast and I am in the final stages of my own.  I don’t fear dying, I fear living without those I love still around.
