I hope that all of you who are missing folks at the table this year will take some time off from sighs and tears to remember the great times you shared in the past.

Not all holidays are Norman Rockwell-inspired. But when I think back on other not-so-happy holiday seasons, I remember how extra special each tiny expression of joy, love, kindness was to me!

So my hope for EVERYONE is to wrap yourself in whatever goodness you can find and hold on tightly!

MANY BLESSINGS to you ALL...
for all you have done
for all you have gone through, and
for all the days to come.

Love & light,

ROTFLMAO Brenda! I'll take hugs anywhere I can gets 'em!!

(((((((Mom's buddy)))))).....darnit, I put the hug in the wrong post of yours, so I'll put this one in the right one.

I know Christmas was a tough one on you hon. Thinking of you...

same to you my dear. This year I was able to remember more of the good days then the bad with a lot less tears too. Yes, the tears were there and there were times that lump in my throat would not go away but it does get less. Even Dan moved on this year and enjoyed Christmas and even put up the trains. Something that has not been done in the 10 years since Doug was gone. Love to all
