the last christmas without you...

not only did i get a text from my grandmother this morning that read:


"you are my angel and you married an angel"

i got an email from one of my {best girlfriends} with a link to this song:





she said that she was listening to it this morning and thought i would like it {which i did}

she said,

"it's about Jesus (and it's beautiful in that context), but i always think about how i felt when i was pregnant with h* and knowing it would be my last Christmas without her here."

so i listened to it with both contexts in mind and my eyes filled with emotion as both touched me in a particular {but different} way.

here are the lyrics if you don't feel like listening

{but oh, you really should, her voice is like the angel my grandmother thinks i am!}


The Last Christmas
-Sixpence None the Richer

I feel your heart beating
Inside my own skin
And I think of Mary
In Bethlehem


That night in a stable
Our Saviour was born
Yes, we have so much
To be thankful for


On the last Christmas
The last Christmas
The last Christmas
Without you


They're choosing the colors
Preparing your room
For one day; Midsummer
The advent of you


Together we wait for
A heavenly gift
Is winter a wonder?
Enchanted that this is


The last Christmas
The last Christmas
The last Christmas
Without you


See the stars shining for above
Hear the singing
Praise to the Giver of Life and Love
Maker of Beautiful things..
I feel you heart beating
Inside my own skin
And I think of Mary
In Bethlehem


When darkness was shattered
The dawn of God's grace
And the journey'd begun
To the first Easter day


On the this Christmas
The last Christmas
The last Christmas
The very last Christmas
The last Christmas (x 3)
Without you
