Holidays were always special to me.As a little girl,I looked forward to the days where there was no school and no homework. I loved the holidays.But now things are so different.I face the holidays with dread.They are one with money problems and stress.I couldnt afford to buy xmas gifts this year.Last year,I gave to everyone.I brought a lot of presents.But this year,I gave everyone cards not gifts.You see since 1995 until 2010 I lost many people in my family.Some died because of old age and such,others died of natural causes,.In all,I have lost 10 people since 1995 and I hate it when that phone rings.The last person I
lost was in 2011.My favorite uncle died at the age of 80.Due ot his wishes,there was no service or funeral. He died sick and alone in a nursing home back in New York and I still cant get over this fact.He was the best uncle any girl can have.ANd now hes gone and as at 65,am all alone and sad because Brad will be dead for 4 years and every night I wonder if it worth to be alone.

It's hard to lose your relatives, friends, those you love. My Dad was the toughest to lose and this holidays I was determined that I would celebrate their lives for the holidays instead of living and drowning in the last day of their lives.
By celebrating their lives, I looked for the best times and brought those to the forefront of my present self and remembered those days, laughed about them, and was glad for those days. I know my Dad would not want me to be mourning him or not thriving, or wondering if it was worth it to go on.
Dad would want laughs and happiness and Dad and I had always talked about the past and the fun times anyway and we would laugh so hard, so it is him to be remembered by all the really great fun times.
I hope that you can take something from this. I know that when my time comes, I wouldn't want anyone to be crying about me and focusing on the fact I died. Instead i would want to be remembered for how I lived and the fun times and the hilarious times and the times when everyone just laughed so hard they couldn't breathe.
