Fran, It is very difficult to lose a parent, I know because I lost my Dad a few years ago. But I have to tell you that people who die on Christmas are the first to get their wings and go to heaven. Do you know that story about Bells ringing? Whenever you hear a bell ring means an angel got their wings. I'm sure if you think about it you probably heard a lot of Bells ringing on Christmas, Those were all the new Angels getting their wings!
Rest assured that your Dad is watching over you and will be with you forever in your thoughts and memories. Mine is always right here whenever I need him.
God Bless you and your family at this difficult time
