      There's just something special about knowing it's the most loving time of year for others but nobody loves you and you're really fucking lonely 🥰 And then New Year hits and you realize you did once again nothing worthwhile this year 😍I hate December 😘

    [Chorus]
    If we make it through December
    Everything's gonna be all right, I know
    It's the coldest time of winter
    And I shiver when I see the falling snow
    If we make it through December
    Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime
    Maybe even California
    If we make it through December, we'll be fine
    [Verse]
    Got laid off at the factory
    And their timing is not the greatest in the world
    Heaven knows I've been working hard
    Wanted Christmas to right for my girl
    I don't mean to hate December
    It's meant to be the happy time of year
    And my little girl don't understand
    Why we can't afford no Christmas gear
    Chorus]
    If we make it through December
    Everything's gonna be all right, I know
    It's the coldest time of winter
    And I shiver when I see the falling snow
    If we make it through December
    Got plans to be in a warmer town come summertime

    If we make it through December, we'll be fine

    Me, my mom, and my dad made it all the way to March 13th before daddy passed to COVID in his sleep. His funeral was on May 9th, the hardest part about when my daddy died is when I had to call one of his best friends Dave Benson I remember it like this, my voice was trembling like I was about to cry I said “h-hey uncle Dave, my daddy died” and right as he heard that he said “No aww no-no-“ and he started to break down crying, he was a true friend to my daddy it’s so sad because I had to call all his other best friends, my daddy wasn’t a popular guy, he didn’t know many people but, they were the greatest people you’d ever met they were great good loyal friends to my dad Patrick Dowland, I am writing this as his son Joshua Dowland.
