Alone on Christmas - Things I Need To Say - Is It A Sign From The Thrift Store?

[@imadimad-ge2nv]

I guess your video was a sign for me. My husband, John, passed away on the night of December 5th. I know I was blessed because I was able to be at his side, holding his hand and telling him how much I love him. We were together for over 54 years and I'll always be grateful for that. I now have his memories and I will always cherish them. Love the people in your life with all your heart because you never know what tomorrow will hold. Susan, I wish you and everyone a very Merry Christmas and a much better new year. Thank you.

[@LittlePoet]

I am so sorry for your loss....and your quote was so moving. 54 years with the man you loved...that is so beautiful.I am sure there are days it still feels he is here. I am wishing you so much peace this Christmas...your heart sounds so full and I appreciate you reminding me what truly is important in life. Hope for the years to come...Love to you and yours, Susan & Dez

[@analyzingmylife2492]

My partner of 6 years just left me and has a new girlfriend. I am absolutely devastated, and terrified of starting life again on my own. I am handicapped so that also is a lot to deal with. If it were not for my son I would be in a nursing home and for him I am forever grateful. I am 45 years old.

[@christibell7243]

Awesome. I lost my very best friend of 52 years, just a week ago. We were 12 when she started a conversation with me, the first day of 7th grade. She fought pancreatic cancer for 9 months. You are a blessing to all of us. Merry Christmas 2021 will be better.

[@janonthelam3418]

2020 tested our ability to stand alone, to survive without a pat on the back or a friendly handshake. 2020 showed us we can do anything on our own even if we don’t want to. 2020 taught us that we can survive but It also taught us that we are stronger together although separated by a screen. 💖💐

I am only a subscriber however to me when I speak about Susan it’s not like I am speaking about a youtube it’s I am speaking about a very dear friend and her best friend Desi. I love them both. If she ever want to come to Florida I have room for both Susan and Desi both. Blessing sent to everyone who reads this. You are loved. 🙏🙏🙏 Suzanne

I was surprised when your comments about birds really struck me. I remember my mom saying once ‘your not a strong person’ which caught me off guard. I’m the oldest of nine kids and I’ve always felt I had to be the strong one so your comments about birds being tiny but strong gave me an understanding of myself. Thank you 😊

[@rayroughley491]

I think you missed what your mother was saying. She always showed the family her strength, but it was hard for her to show her Love, she wanted you to show more love and not carry the burden of others. Show others their wings to fly.

[@flamingjune4927]

I spend most of my Christmases alone, but I enjoy it along with everyone else! I will be slightly more humble this year remembering the losses and difficult situations that people find themselves in. The media might carry on as normal but we all know it is a time to reflect and embrace the change we know will come. Health and happiness to all! 🙏🏻

A few weeks after I lost my husband at Thanksgiving 2004, a friend gave me this quote that has helped me so much over these years. I still have it hanging on my frig... " Grief is not the process of forgetting... but of remembering with less pain". I have found this to be true. xoxo

Hi Sues! Another wonderful video. I wish that I had Thrift stores near me. You have a really great eye for choosing the best things. I'm so happy that you adopted the little bear on the wreath. He couldn't be in a better home. I want to thankyou so much for what you've done all year creating these videos for us. You and your little Desi have kept our spirits up when there were times they were plummeting. You yourself with you family sick, and you went on with the show. You are one very special lady. I'm so happy to have gotten to know you on KZbin. I feel very blessed. I hope that all of your wishes come true. Although a different Christmas, I want to wish you a Merry one. I think we have all found out, that it's the littlest things that matter. Please give Dez a hug for me. He is adorable. And I want to wish all of your subscribers a very Happy Holiday Season.. Much love and a big hug to you Sues..🎄❤🤗🎄 P.S. John will love the ornament. You are so thoughtful. ❤

Susan...I knew it the minute you said the Teddy Bear wreath looked like Desi that you were going to take it home. I laughed out loud through the tears in my eyes when I first saw it on your chair. The D. Morgan print was a sweet sign for me...I have three of her prints...you are sending me on a mission to find the one your purchased...for my daughter. It is magical...just like your videos. I view your videos as my weekly therapy sessions - in a good way. One of her prints is a Victorian home...it is sweet and nostalgic...and I have it in my kitchen. The first part of her passage are, "I hear your footsteps down the hall. You're home again and safe. ..." That's what home has been to so many in 2020...our safe and warm haven. Oh, I could go on...but...just know that I/we adore you and Desi and even John, your neighbor who is fortunate that you have him in your thoughts and prayers....have a lovely Christmas and enjoy this first year in your beautiful new home. Blessing and love, Carol PS: I love your sweater...it fits your romantic nature!

I think that is such a wonderful sentiment about John. Even he says what are you doing here you know he doesn’t mean it! It will mean so much to him at 80 years old this time of year.

[@kathleenthompson3140]

My granddaughter's nickname is bird... We also call her birdie. Her baby mouth was like a little bird. Love the telephone stand. It would make a nice writing desk as I am left handed. I have a pencil drawing of the Nativity, entitled, "The Holy Night" by M. Feuerstein. It hung pride of place in my husband's grandmother's house. She gave it to us when we married. It is 130 years old now from when she and I both had it. It is hanging next to my Advent wreath tonight. Although my husband and his grandmother are both gone, I rely on my faith and God's promises to comfort my losses. Thank you for your videos, they have been so helpful especially now. I just cried out with joy when I saw Desi sing. What a lovely gift for us! Merry Christmas.

[@CathyS_Bx]

It has been one grim year, that's for sure. I lost my older sister--my one sibling--and my last living aunt. And then a friend died unexpectedly in her apartment here in NYC and wasn't found for days. None of these deaths was Covid-related, though I know my friend, who was single, was feeling especially lonely and I'm guessing it was a contributing factor. And no funerals were possible due to Covid, none of those comforting rituals. But I'm here, you're here, we survived, as you say. I'm a few years older than you--70--and I resolve to take inspiration from your creative and soulful approach to life. I very much need that inspiration! My best to you and Desi and your family and I hope that grumpy old man appreciates your lovely star!

[@SRAshley100]

Hello Susan and Desi, how special this video is and little Desi singing to us. 2020 has been the most difficult year but like you said, here we are, we made it! I wonder how many days in 2020 I made it without shedding a tear. It is not that my life has been so difficult, it is the sadness I have witnessed and fear in people. I am so sad that so many do not get to be with loved ones. I am so sad my friend in the nursing home cannot have visitors. It’s all overwhelming if I dwell on it. I just know that we made it through this for a reason and like everything in life...learn from the lesson it presented. I pray John received his ornament from you in a good manner and I do believe that poor John needed that ornament and you did as you were lead in your spirit to do. Merry Christmas sweet Susan and Desi!

[@lanajackson3730]

What a wonderful video Susan. Looking at 2020 was scary for most of us. We have lost family members and friends to the virus. But as Christians we cannot let this drag us into the pit.

This is the 4th week of advent, the week of Love. John doesn't hate you he loves you, that star ornament with the angel is perfect for him, you're there bc you care. The painting is beautiful, it tells a story of lost love. Love your sweet Dezi, he's a great singer. Merry blessed Christmas 🎄 🥰

I look for all bird things at the thrift stores. Moms favorite was red birds. She called them pretty boy and little momma. All of them. Funny, now that she’s gone I see red bird decor everywhere I go. I miss her so badly. I will never be the same without her. I pray I’m as good a mommy and grandma as she was. Xo

What an incredibly dear person you are, imbuing everything in your life with meaning and joy and sharing it with us. Persist in reaching out with love...even when you, especially when, it is emotionally risky to do so. It’s the right thing to do and adds just a bit more compassion to a broken heart and a broken world. You are a soft, strong, resilient, resourceful, sensitive, soul-full woman with courage and grace. Blessings!

You are such a beautiful soul. I wish you a blessed Christmas. I love your videos. Here's to fun in 2021.

[@mousepudding]

I've never seen your videos, but you're a obviously a very kind soul. If the world had 7.8 billion people just like you, what an amazing planet we would live on.

Merry Christmas Susan! Here's hoping you and Desi have a wonderful day. Please know just how much you are loved and that you're never alone.

That painting is beautiful and so is the top you are wearing! I love it and wish I had one like it! You are beautiful inside and out. Thanks for spreading so much joy and beauty. Merry Christmas.

Christa, I too absolutely loved the sweater Susan had on in this video.

[@pamelahudson824]

I must say that this video truly touched my heart. Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face. They were tears of joy, remembrance, and of the beautiful , kind sentiments that you reflected upon. The telephone chair in the thrift store brought back so many memories. My family had one when I was growing up. You and your adorable puppy brought me so much joy and peace this morning. I wish I could give you both a hug. Many blessings to you and everyone.

[@madelinestuart8827]

Thank you, Susan! Your words are always inspiring. Especially right before Christmas, I needed to hear that a person's love is always with us. Merry Christmas to you and Desi! (And I love your new fireplace!)

[@katrinap2432]

You really touched my heart today, thank you for that and Desi is so sweet, what a joy to have our fur babies , true gift from God to keep us happy and loved.
