One Day, You’ll Miss This

One Day, You’ll Miss This

December 22, 2025

Hey Gang,

There’s something about this season that bends time for me.

I didn’t sit down to reflect; it just happened. One quiet moment, and suddenly I was remembering past holidays, old traditions, and faces that once filled the room. The kind of magic I didn’t know I’d miss; the glow of childhood, the ease of those days, the feeling that everything important was right there in front of me.

Nostalgia has a way of doing that. It pulls at us gently, then all at once. We remember how it used to feel. How full the house was. How loud the laughter sounded. How time didn’t feel like something we were racing against.

And maybe we ache a little for those days because some of the people who made them special aren’t here anymore. Or because life is heavier now. More layered. Less simple.

But here’s the thought that stopped me: This day will be a memory too.

This holiday. This version of you. This moment you’re standing inside of right now. And it makes me wonder how often we miss today because we’re busy honoring yesterday. Not intentionally. Just humanly.

We honor the past because it mattered. Because love lived there. Because joy once felt easier to reach. And that matters. Those memories deserve to be cherished. But so does now.

Because even if things are different… even if some chairs are empty… even if life looks nothing like it used to…you are still here. Breathing. Present. Surrounded by quiet blessings that don’t announce themselves loudly. The sound of a familiar voice. The comfort of someone beside you. The chance to create a moment that will one day be missed.

I’m not asking you to forget the past, but asking you not to miss the present. So as you move through these days, slow down when you can. Look around. Notice who’s with you. Notice what’s still good. Notice what this version of life is offering you.

Because years from now, you’ll look back on this time, too. And your heart will tug. And when it does, I hope you can say you were here for it. Fully. Gratefully. Present.

Talk soon,
