Christmas Memories #11
Oh Well!!!!! It has happened again! My extended family meets tonight for Christmas party and I have not made all the goodies I had hoped to. But refer to Christmas Memories #10. Do not stress! Let it go! It will be alright. No one but you will know the difference. Others are preparing and bringing food and goodies. We will have a great time! The best thing about it is we are all going to be together to celebrate this beautiful Christmas season. Will miss you again this year, daddy! My wonderful dad passed away in 2007 and he is so, so missed. Words cannot express the emptiness you can feel when you lose someone so dear. We do, however, have the assurance he is in a better place. That, we are thankful. Merry Christmas!

I can really relate to this blog. Where did the time go? I had every intention to bake Christmas goodies to give as gifts to my co-workers but a week before Christmas, I got sick and just could not do it. I'll plan better next year and hopefully stay well enough to do it. It's hard to believe another Christmas has come and gone without my Mom and Dad. Had several crying spells over the Christmas break missing them. Me and my siblings just don't get together much since they are gone. We're lucky for all of us to get together once a year. How sad.
ReplyDeleteAs I get older, I find Christmas to be a more difficult time. When your family grows and as you say, some very close to us pass away, it makes it more difficult. It tends to make me think we need to remember the real reason for Christmas. When you have lived __ years celebrating as we do, it is hard to reprogram your mind. Also, we want to make it special for our kids and grandkids. Thanks Sonya!
