Oh, you miss them so much.  They loved you and you loved them.  But there is no need to speak in your past tense.  They are here in your awareness, and the more you come to know the true nature of consciousness, you will understand that here in awareness is the basis of all experience.  What you call here as you stay in human point of view is a combination of physical sensory experiences.  What your loved ones who have passed call here is also a combination of experiences, but no longer experienced through the medium of a body.  Can you be your own medium and meet them in the experience of here in your heart?  It may not seem quite so satisfactory until you come to realize you are actively communicating with them through Sensations, Thoughts, and Feelings … the self-same ST-F (“stuff”) of all experience.  For the holidays and all the days, make an agreement to start noticing the sensations, thoughts, and feelings that arise when you lessen the focus on bodily senses.  Happy reunions begin here, not in the body. 

You are so very loved.
