Nov 26 is 5th year of father's death
my brother has traditional thanksgiving - his wife really doesn't like me-lots of conflicts
the gf will be there at thanksgving so I was going to try to met her then - it may be too hard - Dad died on that date
my cousin is already talking all bout her saying do you like her?
have you met her ? i think you will like her

I don't celebrated the holidays the same- since parents died-
I send gifts and cards and volunteer

Maybe i could meet her after the holidays - they are not offering another time- I sent gift that they loved for engagement


I welcome your comments and thoughts,advice

" Kellie58, since they haven't mentioned meeting another time after the holidays, maybe you could suggest it. Your nephew knows you well enough that he'd probably understand. You could even invite them to your house and that would eliminate the awkwardness of your brother's wife. I know how hard the holidays are and I've become very skilled at maneuvering around situations I don't want to be a part of. ;o) "

" I agree with heyjude10969. Make a suggestion to meet at another time. Holidays are hard for me too with the loss of my Daddy and my daughter. I just cherish what I do have now and I don't take anything for granite any more.
Hope things work out for you. "
