Written on 19th November 2010, a few weeks after my dad passed away.

I am writing about the experience of having our first Christmas without him.

Lyrics

Boxes of you scattered round my room
Fixing the mess you left me
Why couldn't you be happy why you were still here
But you always got your own way

Oh, I'm so grateful
I won't shed a tear
Sad, but not unhappy though we are fewer this year.

Holding back the tides
Now they wash o'er me
Defeated by you but noone else
You valued me more than you valued yourself
How I hated you for that

Oh, I'm so grateful
The gift you give will soon be clear
I'm no longer fearful though we are fewer this year.
