A special group of people

That's what you all are.

As we approach the holidays I just want you all to know what a wonderful source of love and support you have all been to me and to one another.

I get so many private messages relating to me just how good this group is and how thankful folks are for a place to come and 'chat'.

I'm thinking of each and every one of you as we get closer to family celebrations.

with love.

hope you're doing well.

i'm coming up on a three year anniversary of my mother's passing--going through a lot of mental head spinning, tormenting myself with the "what ifs" and doing the "three years ago today" routine.

it's so hard--it's so hard--it's so hard!

almost surreal to think she's been "gone" this long and that i have existed without her physical presence in my life--i wonder how i have managed to get by. i never thought i would last this long.

i never realized i was capable of loving someone so much. how wonderful to know she was loved so much. even so... my heart is still broken, my life forever changed, and i want --so much-- for everything to go back to "normal." i'll never have it again. i miss my old life.

thank you.


This is a good place with good people who have lost loved ones and gained friendships.

short years later to mourn him too. *sigh*

Gonna be a quiet, quiet Turkey day. My Nana is gone, my parents are gone, and the in-laws are headed to the new bride's homestead. Still gonna do up a nice meal, just a much smaller one. (Also, we are getting together in a couple of days for chips and subs, and game night, so we still get some quality time.)
