"Dancing Through Tears"
by Martine Bacci Siegel
The Christmas holidays are full of memories, traditions and celebrations. How many of us don't stop and think of our childhood Christmases? For many the holidays can be a roller coaster of emotions.
This quote was shared by one of their priests with the author of the article:
"I have this season and these holidays and this moment to be present with those I treasure; to make memories and create traditions and notice beauty. Because that is what those we so miss right now did with us while they could, and it's why we miss them. They shared their now with us, while grieving the then they missed too. They celebrated life while being visited by grief too. This is what love does. It dances through tears."
