mixed up holiday

I am feeling kinda low this holiday season. One, because of the breakup and I feel his lonliness more than mine... and two because I lost my mom 3 years ago and the holidays have never been the same. I have a small family, just my dad really. We are going to a friends place for dinner... a place where there is loving couple with kids and a mom and it makes me sad.... I know it shouldn't but it does.

I'm sorry about your mom.

A friend invited me to her house today, and I'm not going because I really don't think I could handle being around a happy family right now.

I think it's just hard to be around something that you want and don't have right now.

(((Hugs)))

I feel for you H. I also lost my mom 3 years ago, and my dad the year before that. My brothers and I tried to carry on the T-day traditions, but for some reason, this year, of all years, they gave up. One brother went on a cruise. The other is going to his fiancee's family dinner and third pretty much dissed me when I invited he and his wife to my house. I'm feeling really alone and trying so hard to make the best of it. If misery loves company, know that you're not alone.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
