I lost my mom 16 years ago, and the rest of my family followed I'm and only child 54 now, and you never get over it you just live with it, I was telling my daughter the other day I sure wish things were live they use to be around the holidays. Serval times when I have been sick or had surgery I never felt so alone. No matter how old you get you are still that kid inside longing for your family.

Try to think of the day as it is. Thankgiving. Think of all the wonderful memories you have of your Grandmother, and be thankful to her for them.

In the past 10 years, our little family has gotten smaller and smaller. We have lost 5 family members, and I am talking significant ones. We are now down to a family of 6.
My mom died on Dec 16th last year. My dad, dec 17th a few years ago. My MIL this past June, my FIL in 1997. My brother-in-laws brother, 2005, our Uncle Don 10 years ago.
Dec. was my parents anniversay and my in laws anniversary.

It is tough. I am just going to wish them all a Happy Holiday, and tell them again, for the m illionth time, how very much I love them, and how thankful I am that they were in my life. That's all I can think of to do. I will also be very, very Thankful for those of us who are left, that we have each other.

Sending huggs to you,

Soniahicks,
I just lost my father and this time of the year was really his favorite. He loved family get togethers and all of the food and cheer that went with it. I know it is hard yet I know that we will all be able to make it through this and get stronger from it. The one true thought is one day I will be with my dad again and I am just hanging on that thought as my strength to continue to move on and keep the memory of my father strong in my mind. I love and miss him terribly. It will get better but you will never forget and that is also a good thing. I will keep you in my prayers and hope that your pain is not as strong as you move forward. Take care and God bless you and your family.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
