Rachel Marie Kang: For the Empty Chair at Your Table

"Sometimes . . . we just need someone to acknowledge that the ache is real. As the holidays come rushing in, so do the memories that remind me of my grandfather, and my cousin, and my eccentric friend — all of them gone too soon. So this holiday season, I won't fight the grief. I will hold hope in one hand and heartache in the other.
 
 This holiday season I will choose to believe that our tears matter to God, the One who cradles all our little losses and greatest griefs. If you need the same, I hope you do the same. For the empty chair at your table, know that Christ dines with you and dwells within you — even and especially in this."
