Thought I’d reblog this for the Friday Flashback challenge
https://fivedotoh.com/2020/12/18/fandangos-flashback-friday-december-18/
There will be a lot of families apart this year for whatever reasons.
Hope this one lifts your spirits.
This one didn’t come into my reader, so I’m almost a full week late!

‘Do you think he’ll see it?’
‘You’ve decorated the tree beautifully.’
‘It’s not the same though, Dad not being here. What time is it?’
‘Ten to midnight. Santa should be here in a minute.’
‘I would gladly exchange my presents for just one hug from Dad.’
‘I know what you mean. Time to set everything up.’
The laptop was positioned on the table and the two sat in front of it with the tree behind them.
The screen flickered, the singsong calling sign rang out through the house, and Skype worked its magic.
‘Merry Christmas Dad! Wish you were here!’
Aww, thats a sad story, Missing one’s mother or father at christmas is truly the worst feeling ever!
I shall ring Bro in NZ on Christmas Day, and we’ll light a candle for my Mum, the dads, and of course, Maggie.
That’ll be special. They’ll all be there in spirit and make your day special.
Always Mason.
That’s sad!
Technology brought them together on Christmas Day though.
True. But, I wish kids are never away from their parents, atleast during festivities!
Sometimes it can’t be avoided though, which is a shame. I was lucky growing up in that we had family Christmases, and I tried to do the same as an adult. It’s just the two of us now as we have no kids and both sets of parents are no longer with us.
True that!
And am glad you have each other❤🙂
Do you celebrate the holidays Ramya? Will you be able to get together with some of your family?
Yes..We celebrate all the festivals with my in-laws and extended family.🙂
how lovely!
Thank you☺️🙏
Awe! This had me feeling a little sad! It will be so hard for those families who’ll be apart this year! My heart goes out to them!
Technology may be good sometimes, but it’s not the same as being there.
