Loss is one of the most painful human experiences, and we all go through the grieving process from denial to acceptance. That's life; we have to move on and continue to live our most remarkable life.
Life is precious and fragile. It's a God-given gift that we treasure. We have joyful memories and sorrowful moments. Despite what we've been through, we lift them to God, who gives us life.
It's my second Christmas celebration in Canada, unlike last year's white Christmas. It's warmer than usual and a bit tolerably cold that doesn't need a layer of clothes—a different experience than last year, with a new scenery and vibe.
However, the season's first snowfall was in early December, though it melted so fast the next day. That may be the first and last snowfall before the year ends, and so we enjoyed it before it was gone.
Christmas season in Canada may not be as jolly as in my home country, the Philippines. But our simple celebration here is meaningful and leaves a lasting memory to cherish.
Our trip to Vancouver Christmas Market was my first-ever experience of seeing and meeting people in a festive holiday ambiance and mood. It's a fabulous Christmas-themed village with surrounding skyscrapers, a scenic mountain backdrop, and coastal waters.
As Canada's most livable city, Vancouver always amazes me with its natural beauty and wonders. And the Christmas Market with the Vancouver skyline is a wonderful and festive experience this holiday season.
Christmas will always be in our hearts. It's the most significant moment in our lives to celebrate with gratitude and remain joyful in hope.
There will always be light that glows in our hearts, and we radiate it to people dear to us and the people we meet this holiday season. We are blessed and hopeful that things will be brighter and stronger than ever.
