You have been the sanity of many of our Christmases and the Queen of Snacks!

It is always a cruel twist when we lose those we love. I know that you know this from personal experience, too. Somehow we get through it.<br /><br />Babs- It does make it harder and takes the joy out of the season. I am so sorry for what Mo went through. The parent/child relationship is a precious one and when we lose one or the other it is very painful.<br /><br />Oh Katherine, I'm sorry I made you cry, but yes, both losses were terribly sad. We are stronger than we know, and we go on. It's not easy, but we do go on.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349143005152545854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805562596725665277.post-81136151230166800122012-06-25T21:59:37.635-04:002012-06-25T21:59:37.635-04:00I am in tears reading this... how horrible.... so...I am in tears reading this... how horrible.... so so sad....

Her present from us was still under our tree. She never got to open it. It was a tough Christmas for us, so I know what you mean about grieving while everyone around you is celebrating. In time we were able to enjoy Christmas again, but it's never quite the same, is it?Babs-beetlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10309239308633895951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805562596725665277.post-71575972434545698672012-06-25T13:49:54.658-04:002012-06-25T13:49:54.658-04:00Oh no.

I'm sorry these deaths were so close to a holiday that we try to make so joyful. I'm sorry for your losses.

Losing my father-in-law was particularly hard on my niece (his granddaughter). She was 12.<br /><br />Nicky- Thank you. Christmas went on in both cases, but was subdued and no Christmas tree, except for the little one. This is my backup for times when we don't get a live tree.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349143005152545854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2805562596725665277.post-75056330948629746792012-06-25T11:56:50.599-04:002012-06-25T11:56:50.599-04:00I'm so sorry for both of your losses.

Everyone around you is busy and happy. You don't want to bring them into your misery so you feel rather alone in your sorrow. I'm sorry for your losses. I hope future holiday seasons can bring your fond, happy memories to help temper the sadness.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.com
